The following parameters affect the battery-life and power consumption for the entire system:
Equation 1 describes the estimated battery life for this design:
Where:
Substituting available battery capacity = 2100 mAH, TON = 5 s, number of activations per day = 5, IONAVG measured = 200 mA, IOFFAVG measured = 2 mA, TOFF per day = (24 × 60 × 60) - TON = 86375 s from Equation 1, the estimate for one month of battery life is shown in Equation 2.
Software can be further optimized to achieve the standby current consumption of < 0.3 mA (CC3235MODS standby current of 120 μA for MCU in LPDS mode and NWP in idle mode), CC1352R standby current of 3 μA, 5 μA shutdown current for other peripherals and up to 100 μA current due to passives). This results in battery life of higher than 6 months as shown in Equation 3. Battery life of 1.5 years is achieved with 6000 mAH battery capacity for similar conditions. Table 3-2 and Table 3-3 show battery lifetime versus the number of activations for different battery capacities.
