30.2.3 ATmega48PA: Supply Current of IO Modules
The tables and formulas below can be used to calculate the additional current consumption for
the different I/O modules in Active and Idle mode. The enabling or disabling of the I/O modules
are controlled by the Power Reduction Register. See ”Power Reduction Register” on page 43 for
details.
It is possible to calculate the typical current consumption based on the numbers from Table 30-4
on page 363 for other V
CC
and frequency settings than listed in Table 30-3 on page 363.
30.2.3.1 Example
Calculate the expected current consumption in idle mode with TIMER1, ADC, and SPI enabled
at V
CC
= 2.0V and F = 1MHz. From Table 30-4 on page 363, third column, we see that we need
to add 11.2% for the TIMER1, 22.1% for the ADC, and 17.6% for the SPI module. Reading from
Figure 30-53 on page 360, we find that the idle current consumption is ~0.028 mA at V
CC
= 2.0V
and F = 1MHz. The total current consumption in idle mode with TIMER1, ADC, and SPI enabled,
gives:
