38.6 Power Consumption of Peripherals

The table below can be used to calculate the additional current consumption for the different I/O peripherals in the various operating modes.

Operating conditions:
  • VDD = 3V
  • T = 25°C
  • OSC20M at 1 MHz used as system clock source, except where otherwise specified
  • In Idle Sleep mode, except where otherwise specified

Note:
  1. Current consumption of the module only. To calculate the total power consumption of the system, add this value to the base power consumption as listed in Power Consumption.
  2. CPU in Standby mode.
