2.6.1 Measuring Low Power (<1 mA)
Follow these steps to measure ultra-low power:
- Remove the 3V3 jumper (J12); attach an ammeter across this jumper.
- The CC3200 should not drive any high-current loads directly, such as an LED, as this can draw a large current.
- Begin target execution and set the device to low-power modes (LPDS or hibernate).
- Measure the current. If the current levels are fluctuating, it may be difficult to get a stable measurement. It is easier to measure quiescent states.
