Peripherals Power Consumption

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

Notes:
  1. 1.Current consumption of the module only. To calculate the total internal power consumption of the microcontroller, add the power consumption values of all the peripheral and clock sources used to the base power consumption given in the Power Consumption section in Electrical Characteristics.
  2. 2.Average power consumption with ADC active in Free-Running mode.
  3. 3.Without resistor ladder.
