10.3 System Power Consumption in Applicative Use Cases
Table 10-4 provides the device power consumption in the following conditions:
- fCPU_CLK = 800 MHz
- fMCK1 = 200 MHz
- fMCK2 = 533 MHz
- fMCK3 = 266 MHz
- fMCK4 = 400 MHz
- fMCK5 = 200 MHz
- fMCK6 = 200 MHz
- fMCK7 = 100 MHz
- fMCK8 = 100 MHz
- fMCK9 = 100 MHz
- I & D caches enabled
- Use cases run on Linux®
- Ambient temperature: 25°C
- Current consumption is measured as shown in Figure 10-1. Note that the external component current consumptions are counted.
The measurements are provided for typical SAMA7D65D5M, SAMA7D65D1G, SAMA7D65D2G and SAMA7D65D4G devices.
