Question

STM32WB55 BLE stop2 mode electric current

Hellow all,

I am running a custom BLE application on STM32WB55 and I want to run in low power STOP2 mode，At the same time, Bluetooth needs to remain in broadcasting state. I am not sure what the average power consumption is in this case. I monitored that after CPU1 enters STOP2 mode, the average power consumption is about 6mA. Is this normal? Is there a theoretical minimum average power consumption value that can be achieved when CPU1 enters STOP2 mode and Bluetooth is still broadcasting for reference? Thank you very much!

Hello,
you can find theoretical power consumption values in the datasheet. 6 mA is quite high average power consumption, but without more details about your application is not possible to evaluate as average power consumption depends on multiple details

  • BLE TX power
  • advertising interval (how fast is device advertising, between advertising complete device can be in STOP2)
  • Number of bytes in your advertising message
  • clock setting, GPIO pin state, possibly other active peripherals
    - minor impact on power consumption compared to RF expected here

Have you/could you try the measurement also with Beacon example from our repository?

Best regards,

Lubos
