MAX9938FEUK+ (U5) connected to the 2 Ω shunt resistor (R21). In this case IDD_CNT_EN
remains high during the measurement. R22 remains in short-circuit during the measurement
because the FET transistor 1 of U20 remains ON permanently.

1 KΩ shunt resistor (R22), controlled by the FET transistor 1 of U20. In this case the counter
74HC4060 (U3) enabled by IDD_CNT_EN manages the measurement timing according to
Figure 11.

The principle used to measure the consumption current when the STM32L152RCT6 is in
low I range mode is as follows:
DD
1. Configure ADC to measure voltage on the IDD_Measurement pin.
2. Configure PA0 to serve as wakeup pin.
3. Enter low I
4. IDD_WAKEUP rising edge wakes up the MCU after around 300 ms.
5. Start ADC conversion as soon as possible after wakeup in order to measure the
voltage corresponding to Low-power mode on capacitor C13.
6. Reset the counter by programming IDD_CNT_EN high (in less than 150 ms after the
wakeup) to avoid the R22 1 KΩ resistor being connected later in Run mode.
The measurement timing is given in
