    AN105 GD32 MCU Power Consumption Testing Process separately test the input current of the VBAT pin in each mode of Battery supply when the MCU VDD is disconnected. Generally, the common VBAT supply voltage is 3.6V, 3.3V, 2.6V, 1.8V. According to the four modes, it is divided into four codes. Each code is directly compiled and downloaded, and tested and recorded by changing different power supply voltages.
