Lower current in deep sleep

[DaHu_285096]

 I have a low powered application using PSOC4200 powered by 3V battery.

   

The application has the micro and 2 other ICs on the PCB.

   

The other 2 ICs combined draw 12uA. Currently I put the micro into deep sleep and all I need is to wake on an interrupt on a Pin state change. 

   

I have measured total current around 60uA, this implies the 4200 is drawing 48uA instead of the 1.3-15uA suggested in the low power guide.

   

I do have the LVP enabled as I want to know if battery gets low. IIf this is drawing current then I could stop the LVP int before deep sleep and start again on wake.

   

I have SPI being used when wake and also a timer interrupt that is stopped before putting to deep sleep.

   

My target is 30uA total for the circuit (around 15-20uA for 4200 would do the trick).

   

Thanks

Did you try running one of the example projects to see if you could

   

eliminate the PSOC.

       

I am sure you have seen these -

Discretes like bulk caps not leaky ? No floating pins configed as inputs ? No loads being driven ?

   

No pins taken outside rails causing input protection diode current ? No regulator drawing reverse

   

current in its output ?
