Hello together,
yesterday I separated the ST-LINK module from the STM8S105C6T6 module of my STM8s discovery. Afterwards I measured the power consumption and unfortunately it was much higher than expected. At a voltage level of 5V it consume 66mA and in active halt mode still 40mA. Has anybody of you made some different experience with other consumption values? Thanks in advance #stm8s-discovery-power-consumption2011-03-10 03:44 AM
more than a microcontroller it seems you've found a thermonuclear central :)
How did you perform these measurements? Have you disconnected all unecessary components, you need only VDD, GND, VCAP, and NRESET to be connected to the device. brazov2011-03-10 06:24 AM
Thanks for your quick answer!
I've disconnected everything besides the power supply. I put a multimeter between my power source and the VDD. Have you measured the current of your STM8s discovery? Cheers Klaus
