Consumption

Power control

The supply voltage of the prototyping board may be managed through the setBoardMode() function of the library, described in the previous section, which allows to activate or deactivate both supply lines to the board (3.3 V and 5 V).

Consumption table

In the following table the consumption of the board when it is active is shown, from minimum consumption (fixed by the components which are permanently active), together with an estimate of the average consumption of determined tasks and their duration.

	Consumption
Minimum (constant)	0 μA
Analog-to-Digital Converter (Idle state)	200 μA
Reading of Analog-to-Digital Converter (approximately 20ms)	900 μA
