Hello I am reading two Sensor data (Acceleration data and Temperature sensor) on BMA253. And using Orientation recognition and Low-g interrupt. I am using Low-power Mode 2 (please see my previous post.) The bandwidth = 1kHz, and the sleep duration = 25ms. Today I measured the current consumption of my board using a Digital Multi Meter. I realized that the current comsumption of BMA253 in Low-power Mode 2 wasn't as low as the current consumption that is mentioned in the datasheet. The current consumption was almost close to what was mentioned for the Normal Mode, which is 130 uA. I measured the current consumption with only the orientation interrupt enabled, then the current consumption was about 66 uA. But when I measured the current consumption with the low-g interrupt enabled, then the current consumption was about 130 uA, even though the power mode was in Low power Mode 2. I assumed the current consumption was going to be around 66 uA, but the result was different. Am I misunderstanding something? Why does the current consume more than 66 uA (close to 130 uA) in Low power Mode 2? Thank you in advance.
