2.2 Current Consumption
The operating current of the board greatly depends on the application. The table below attempts to give some indication of how different
features of the board contribute to the overall power consumption. Note that the numbers are taken from the data sheets for the devi-
ces. For a full overview of the conditions that apply for a specific number from a data sheet, the reader is encouraged to read the specif-
ic data sheet.
