Reduced Battery Current using
TPS62730
The
TPS62730
[26] is a step down
converter with bypass mode for ultra low
power wireless applications.
In RX, the current drawn from a 3.6 V
battery is typically less than 11 mA when
TPS62730
output voltage is 2.1 V. When
connecting
CC1101
directly to a 3.6 V
battery the current drawn is typically 17
mA (see Figure 1)
In TX, at maximum output power (+12
dBm), the current drawn from a 3.6 V
battery is typically 22 mA when
TPS62730
output voltage is 2.1 V. When connecting
CC1101
directly to a 3.6 V battery the
current drawn is typically 34 mA (see
Figure 2).
When
CC1101
enters SLEEP mode, the
TPS62730
can be put in bypass mode for
very low power down current
The typical
TPS62730
current consumption
is 30 nA in bypass mode.
The
CC1101
is connected to the battery via
an integrated 2.1 Ω (typical) switch in
bypass mode
