PIC18LF13K50 Extremly low power counter

[pedja089]

Finally over...
Here's the result:
RTC always power on, Pic 30mS in sleep, about 1 mS running, Open inputs, Average consumption about 50uA. Now just to determine the value of pull up resistors, and type of capacitors.
By the way wich type of capacitors have the lowest leakage current?

Cool deal! Good feeling when you get over that hurdle huh?
I generally keep to XR7 type caps with the higher voltage (25V to 50V) rating.

Voltage Duration: Capacitors are operated at a voltage below their rated value then the reduced stress and lower leakage current will give an improvement in the life expectancy. Since leakage current increases with temperature the benefit of a reduced operating voltage is more pronounced at higher temperatures.

It was not that difficult, but a nice feeling when you finish something
The problem was that this was the first time that I work with 18LF13K50. There are some specific things about this PIC
Now I'm trying to reduce run time on pic...
For testing I'm using 220uF/6.3V low esr capacitor in parallel with batery, close to pic power pins, and 100nF/50V ceramic capacitor on Vusb pin.
Thank you very much for your help
