LIS3MDL single measurement mode

Hello, 

I would like to use the LIS3MDL magnetometer in single measurement mode to reduce my overall current consumption.

I've found some useful informations in the AN4602 Application but I'm still missing something.

The turn on time, from wakeup command to data availability, is specified (as a function of the operating mode) but 

the current consumption during turn on is not given.

What value should I use for my calculations?

Thanks

Guillaume

Hello 

Guillaume,

I've asked the sensor specialists to get you an answer. Please hold on, if you don't have a chance to measure it directly on your HW setup.

Regards,

Petr

Hello 

Guillaume,

In single measurement mode, for ODR < 10 Hz, the average current consumption can be calculated with the following formula:

(Current_consumption_10Hz - Current_consumption_in_power_down) / (10 Hz / ODR) + Current_consumption_in_power_down

Petr
