11.1.11.1.2 Power Consumption

Backup mode configuration and measurements are defined as follows:
  • RTC is running.
  • Current measurement is as shown in the following figure.

TJ = 105°C

VBAT = 3.6V - Backup mode(1)

TJ = 125°C

VBAT = 3.6V - Backup mode(1)

1mA
VBAT = 3.6V - Normal mode(2)(3)5µA
Note:
  1. When operating the device in Backup mode at a lower junction temperature (70°C, for example), this current consumption specification can be derated using the VBAT current consumption characteristic shown in the following figure.
  2. The backup area embeds a VBAT-powered power switch which allows the VBAT section to be powered by VBAT (Backup mode) or by VDDIN33 when available (Normal mode). This power switch is controlled by bits CTRL and SOFTSWITCH in the SFRBU_PSWBU register. Refer to “SFRBU Power Switch BU Control Register” in the section Special Function Registers Backup (SFRBU) for more details.
  3. Simulation data

The following figure shows the average Backup mode current consumption measured on a few typical devices.
