For the second scenario, consider the case in which a wireless gaming controller is turned on and left unused (idle) for more than 2 hours. In this case, the user interfaces if left unused can be put in sleep mode by the microcontroller, to further save power. By placing the TMAG5273 in sleep mode, the current consumption per thumb stick can be reduced to 5 nA. And with a shutdown current of less than 10 nA for TMAG5253, the current consumed by triggers can also be reduced. Table 4-2 shows the analysis to understand the savings in power consumption just from the triggers and thumb sticks, for a 2-hour idle mode. In Table 4-2, assume that in active mode, the sensors are turned on for 50 μs once every 10 ms. Compare this scenario to the mode where the sensors are shutdown to save power. As shown in the power savings that we can achieve by just power cycling the devices during run time is more than 1000 times compared to the case where the sensors are power cycled.
