WL55JC1 idle power consumption much higher than expected

I'm trying to get the idle power consumption of down to a few uA, but I cannot get it lower than around 920uA which is all being consumed by I_SYS.

Has anyone been able to get it lower?

I'm using the DCDC and TCXO (as far as I know).

I don't think it would be the DCDC as that is powered by I_RF which idles ~0uA.

I'm guessing the TCXO has something to do with it, but when I tried to use X3 instead (following the MB1389 instructions) the board didn't work, regardless of what SW changes I made.

The board appears to be entering stop mode correctly.

The power consumption is similar for the 1.1.0 firmware as well.

The power consumption is roughly the same on my custom board as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
