Global Power Consumption - Digi ConnectCore 6UL Hardware Reference Manual

Module specifications
mode of operation is supported by the ConnectCore 6UL module, the ConnectCore 6UL SBC Express
does not provide options to test/evaluate it.

Global power consumption

The following tables list the global power consumption of the ConnectCore 6UL module when the
system is under the use cases described below. See
specifications on the ConnectCore 6UL module variants listed below.
Suspend and power-off modes
Suspend to RAM mode

Variant 17.204 mW

Variant 24 mW
0x04
Note In power-off mode, the input power supply of the SOM (VSYS-VSYS2) is not disconnected, so
VSNVS regulator is still powered. In RTC mode, only the MCA is powered. By cutting the input power
supply to the module in power-off mode, you can achieve the same power consumption numbers as in
RTC mode. See Power management
consumption in low-power modes.
Run-time modes
IDLE
Variant 0x02 0.442 W 0.460 W
Variant 0x03 0.306 W 0.328 W
Variant 0x04 0.477 W 0.500 W
Note These power consumption numbers should be considered guidelines only, never as fixed or
absolute values. Actual values will depend entirely upon individual setup and system application.
Power consumption: Wireless power consumption increase
