The power consumption of LIS2MDL in power-down mode

young

Hi,everyone.

I measured the power consumption of LIS2MDLTR on the same board in power-down mode.

and found that the LIS2MDL chip on STEVAL-MKI217V1(from mouser) consumes less power than the LIS2MDL purchased separately from mouser.

We have some question and need your help.

  1.  What is the power consumption LIS2MDL in power-down mode ? 
  2.  Why do the parameter differ between LIS2MDL chip on STEVAL-MKI217V1 and LIS2MDL purchased separately?

Hi @young ,

The typical current consumption in PD mode is 1.5uA, as written in the datasheet.

How much difference did you measure between the two parts? It could be part-part variability.
