Current problem MC9S08QE16 in Stop3.

[Braulio_Cespede]

Hello Everyone.

Recently I was assigned a project. But to achieve that project, I need to make the MC9S08QE16 go below to 4uA with a extern RTC.
Currently I was able to achieve 25-22~uA with RTC and 8-7.5~uA without RTC.

I had read a lot in the forum but I cannot make it go below.

I will attach some picture and the code.

Processor Expert Components:

Processor Expert CPU config:

RTC config:

Note:

1. LVD module is disable in Stop mode.
2. All unused I/O pins were set as Output and default value 0;
3. ADC module is disable.

Thanks for advance.

I don't know if you're already doing these but, if not, you could try:

* Turn off the various unused peripherals (like, for example, the SCI).  Turn it off means, in most cases, writing the default reset values to the related registers.

* Turn off all clocks to the various peripherals (that you don't need).

Order matters so you should first turn off, say, the SCI, and then remove its clock.

[Note: It's been a really long time I had to do this but I think that shutting off just the clock (say, to the SCI) did not reduce consumption as much as first turning the SCI off, and then its clock.  I could be mistaken about the exact details, because it was many years ago, but there was some little quirk like this that took me a while to figure out, and it alone dropped consumption to acceptable levels.]

Hope it helps!

Thanks for answer.

I've already did it and not just the SCI.

look:

  ACMP1SC=0x00;

  ACMP2SC=0x00;

  IICC1=0x00;

  IICC2=0x00;

  SCI1C2=0x00;

  SCI1C2=0x00;

  SCI2C2=0x00;

  SCI2C2=0x00;

  TPM1SC = 0x00;

  TPM2SC = 0x00;

  TPM3SC = 0x00;

Fine, but I don't see any references to the SCGC1 and SCGC2 registers to turn off the peripheral clocks.

Thank you for answer again.

I've set the SCGC1 and SCGC2, but apparently It doesn't do anything different from before.

/*SCGC1: TPM3=0,TPM2=0,TPM1=0,ADC=0,??,IIC=0,SCI2=0,SCI1=0*/

  SCGC1 = 0x00;

/*SCGC2: DBG=0,FLS=0,IRQ=0,KBI=0,ACMP=0,RTC=1, ??,SPI=0 */

  SCGC2 = 0x04;

Note: SCGC2 = 0x04, because if I disable the RTC the current consumption goes up to 6 mA.

Right now with this set and the RTC clock enable it's consumption is 24-30~uA in stop3.

Do you any other suggestion?

Thank again.
