Figure 3-6, Figure 3-7, and Figure 3-8 show the current consumption of the patch under various settings. Table 3-1 summarizes the results. In the final design, the patch was configured to auto-advertise every 5 seconds, and read temperature every 5 seconds. The connection interval is determined by the mobile device connected, but the device was only allowed to connect for 1% of the active time. The remaining 99% of the active time, the device was placed in advertizing mode.
Equation 1 shows how to estimate the patch power consumption over a lifetime. Equation 2 shows the test example calculation with two years of shelf life and five days of active time, divided into 99% advertising mode and 1% connection mode. Using the average currents measured during testing and the mentioned testing parameters, was calculated that the device consumes 4.86mAh of battery charge. This is less than the battery capacity of 5.5mAh.
