Some Power Figures This is the power consumption of some common devices LPC11U35: 7mA (50MHz), 2mA (12MHz), 300uA (deep sleep) LM75B (thermometer, i2c): 280uA, 4uA MCP9700 (thermometer, analogue): 6uA SPI flash: 40mA/10mA/20uA I2C eeprom: 2mA/0.5mA/1uA 20bit ADC: 200uA/20uA 4ch DAC: 800uA Voltage reference: 140uA Clearly, we can easily get over 1mA while doing nothing
