How to reduce current consumption on NUCLEO-WL55JC ?

Hello, i'm using the NUCLEO-WL55JC board.

I am using the LoRaWAN_End_Node example which works fine. However I reach an operating current of around 50mA.

Do you have an idea for a solution?

Have a good day !

Hello @LMesn.1​ ,

The following features are implemented to reduce the current consumption:

  • The core logic is supplied by the low-power voltage regulator to reduce the quiescent current.
  • The Flash memory can be switched off (power-down mode and clock gating) in LPSleep mode. The Flash memory can also be switched off in LPRun mode when the application processor executes from SRAM1.
  • The system clock is limited to 2 MHz. The MSI internal RC oscillator can be selected as it supports several frequency ranges, with a small device total consumption (such as 48 µA in LPSleep, Flash memory off, at 100 kHz). 

Please refer to this AN5568 "Ultra-low-power features of STM32WL Series microcontrollers", it may be helpful for you.
