Reducing PIC current to as low as possible...

[gmglickman]

I would make sure the unused input pins are tied high or low.

Running it on 2V would reduce the current.
Also, lower osc speed would reduce the current, too.

Check the datasheet for low power features.

Also, lower osc speed would reduce the current, too.

Can this be a good & reliable option:

	OSCCON=48 ' reducing Osc speed before going to sleep
	PAUSE 1
    INTCON = %00001000 ' global ints disabled, int on change enabled
    @ SLEEP            ' put PIC to sleep
	OSCCON=96 ' back to normal speed

Not much help there since the oscillator is disabled during sleep...;o)

I'd like to see your schematic to understand where you might be losing current. The PIC cannot consume so much in sleep mode.
