How close can we get to 2.7uA in deep sleep?
13+
This example shows how decrease the Artemis current consumption to less than ~2.5uA in deep sleep.
14+
15+
Note that Artemis modules with revision A1 silicon will use ~30uA. Please see the
16+
Ambiq errata for more information: https://www.ambiqmicro.com/static/mcu/files/Apollo3_Blue_Errata_List_v1_0_external_release.pdf
17+
18+
To monitor the current to the Edge cut the MEAS jumper, solder in headers, and attach
19+
a DMM via IC hooks (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/506).
20+
21+
The USB to serial bridge draws some current:
22+
Serial Basic C - ~1.2uA (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15096)
23+
FTDI Basic - ~5.5uA (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9873)
24+
25+
The various components on the Edge2 can be powered on/off as well
26+
PDM microphones (2) - ~50.9uA
27+
Accelerometer (POR mode) - ~79.7uA
28+
Camera regulator enabled (no camera) - ~96.8uA
