35.6 Peripherals Power Consumption

Use the table below when calculating the additional current consumption for the different I/O peripherals in various operating modes. Some peripherals request the clock to be enabled when operating in STANDBY. Refer to the peripheral section for further information.

✝ Data in the “Typ.” column are measured at TA = 25°C and VDD = 3.0V, unless otherwise specified. These parameters are provided for design guidance only and are not tested.

‡ Characterized but not production tested.

Note:
  1. Current consumption of the module only. To calculate the total internal power consumption of the microcontroller, add the power consumption values of all peripherals and clock sources used to the base power consumption given in the Power Consumption section.
  2. Average power consumption with the ADC active in Free Running mode.
