Table 4: Current consumption summary
To accurately measure the current consumption of the chip the jumpers listed in Table 5
should be removed.
Header Pin Description Low power setting
P3 1-2
Replace with ampere meter to measure
current consumption of CC2430 Mounted, or connect ampere
meter
P3 3-4
SW controlled power. Can be removed
when performing current measurement to
reduce leakage current
Not mounted
P5 5-6
Connects RESET_N signal between USB
MCU and CC2430. Can be removed when
performing current measurement to reduce
leakage current
Not mounted
Table 5: Jumper setting for low power measurements
In order to achieve lowest possible current consumption, the I/O ports of the CC2430 should
be configured as listed in Power down state in Table 6 below.
