ADC and power consumption

[bogdan]

Was the battery voltage divider in circuit before the ADC command was added and the first measurments taken?

No, the voltage divider circuit wasn`t there when i measured 42uA

Leave the code as is and disconnect the divider from the battery and see if that makes a difference.

It is going back to 42uA

R5, R9, and R10

= pulldown resistors for unused pins



Thank You for your help ...

In order to reduce the power consumption it is a good idea to use a common emitter transistor circuit for the voltage divider (as in the attachment) ?

I will

High PortA.1

during the ADC reading/conversion
