I’m using the XIAO MG24 and I’m comparing the power consumption between the Silicon Labs development board DBG1015A and the MG24. I’m using Simplicity Studio to flash the blinky app.
The values I’m seeing now are:
I would presume that we could lower the power usage of the MG24 to the same level of the DBG1015A. The same app, the same code. What can I do to get a lower power usage on the MG24?
Thanks!
Hi there,
I would think they would be the opposite, SMH?
As some would argue, there’s not a lot of GOOD info out there.
From looking and testing I would suggest you check the basics first,
the Oscillators (LFXO or LFRC) are they set the same?
Power management settings is SimpStud…
Sleep modes there are 4, don’t ask why.
Floating , or undefined GPIO’s = High Leakage current in SIL parts well documented.
Check if the regulators used are the same, just for grins.
Sounds to me like some lower power management settings are turned on by default on the Dev board. The bare silicon doesn’t have that maybe or it’s just not enabled. (are peripherals turned off?)
