STHS34PF80 Sensor's Power Consumption is very high.

Hello there,

I am currently working on a project where I am prototyping STM32WL55 with an STHS34PF80 sensor to detect the presence. The presence detection is excellent and robust so far. However, the power consumption seems to be very high at the moment. I am using Nordic Power Profiler Kit II to measure the power consumption of the STHS34PF80 sensor and it's around 350 microAmps. I am using Power Profiler as source mode sending 3.3v and measuring current consumption on the sensor. The TMOS Sensitivity is set at 2, AverageTAmbientNumber is at T_1, Block update is false, and TmosODR is running at 4Hz. I am using the Arduino framework to run the overall system and the sensor is purchased from Sparkfun (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/22494).

 

The power consumption is very high considering the sensor runs 24/7 and interrupts STM32WL55. I am using the library from SparkFun (https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_STHS34PF80_Arduino_Library).

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much.
