Power Consumption of PSOC-4 BLE

[chmoc_1567941]

hi,

       

i have been using psoc-4 til now and i started work on psoc-4 ble by today.

   

first i have changed thermocouple input software directly from psoc-4 to psoc-4 ble.

   

i have found psoc- 4 ble consume more power than pos-4 with same configuration.

   

power level is increased by 2 mA.

   

so is this psoc-4 ble consume more power than psoc-4??

   

or

   

there is two external crystal for driving psoc-4 ble on chip which is affected power consumption??

       

Best Regards,

Hi Chirag,

   

Are you making use of BLE? If yes, then power consumption is going to increase for sure. 

   

Also, there is are two external clocks, ECO and WCO. You could try disabling these if you are not using BLE. You might then observe current similar to that on PSoC4.
