The plot above was captured while reprogramming the target. What can we see from this plot?
•
Two negative power pulses are seen (the device is pulled into Reset)
•
Four positive pulses are seen (read ID, erase, program Flash, and verify Flash)
•
The new application starts to execute
Leaving the application to run for a few seconds should give you a plot similar to this one:
What can we see from this plot?
•
The kit now draws about 6 mA with the LED OFF
•
Current draw increases to about 9 mA when the LED is pulsed ON
•
The 1% duty cycle still seems approximately correct
Result: Power consumption has been significantly improved by clocking the device slower.
