High Power Consumption in Sleep Mode

[Archangel]

I find it.....
Now it sleeps with the minimum current...just 0.1 ma or 100uA.

The pin MCLR was flatting and I add the 4.7k to Vcc.

Many Many thanks joe for your code.

You are welcome. I had turned MCLRE off in my config.

You are welcome. I had turned MCLRE off in my config.

I added & _BODEN_OFF to __CONFIG and reduced the current from 120uA to 5uA

Just looking at your code and decided to ask a question or two.

Why do you set the same configs twice? I think either will accomplish the task but they may be contradictory also.

Why are some configs spelled differently from one to the other? PWRT/PWRTE, INTRC_OSC_NOCLOCKOUT/INTOSC_OSC_NOCLKOUT and MCLR/MCLRE are the ones I see as different.

Hi,

Just looking at your code and decided to ask a question or two

Which code is that exactly? I'm sort of guessing here so if I'm referring to the wrong one please disregard this.

Why do you set the same configs twice?

The only code in this thread, which could be interpreted as if that's happening is in the third post, by Archangel, but he's not setting the same config twice. One set is commented out:

;@ DEVICE  PIC16F648A, INTRC_OSC_NOCLOCKOUT 
;@ DEVICE pic16F648A, WDT_OFF 
;@ DEVICE pic16F648A, PWRT_ON
;@ DEVICE pic16F648A, MCLR_OFF
;@ DEVICE pic16F648A, BOD_OFF 
;@ DEVICE pic16F648A, LVP_OFF 
;@ DEVICE pic16F648A, CPD_OFF 
;@ DEVICE pic16F648A, PROTECT_OFF
@ __CONFIG _INTOSC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF & _MCLRE_OFF & _LVP_OFF & _BODEN_OFF & _BOREN_OFF

Why are some configs spelled differently from one to the other? PWRT/PWRTE, INTRC_OSC_NOCLOCKOUT/INTOSC_OSC_NOCLKOUT and MCLR/MCLRE are the ones I see as different.

My guess is that one set (the ones that are commented out) is/was targeting the now obsolete PM-assembler which came bundled with PBP while the other is for Microchips MPASM assembler.

My bad. I sincerely apologize for any confusion I might have generated. In the future I'll cut and paste the code to which what I refer to eliminate any obfuscation.

Sorry for using your time but thanks for a possible explanation and pointing out my error.
