LSM6DSV Sensor Hub current consumption?

Based on power measurements I infer that using the LSM6DSV embedded SensorHub with a single slave (LPS22DF) costs ~6.4 uA. I can't find the expected current consumption for the LSM6DSV Sensor Hub in the data sheet or application notes. Is this a reasonable value and should I expect this value increase as more slaves (ex the slave current usage) are added?

    Hi @KWine ,

    We don't provide this information in our AN and DS. The LPS22DF consumption depends on how you configured it, the communication part depends on different factors but a current consumption of about 6.4uA is reasonable and aligned with our expectations.

    Turns out I still had the FIFO partly active since the baro was not properly powered down. Latest measurements show the sensor hub is using ~1 uA, which I would think should be closer to what is expected.

    Thanks Federica, Of course I am taking into account all of the current sources (incl. the baro) I know in my estimates. I will have to perform a more detailed power study to get a better estimate of the sensor hub current usage, but it is useful to know that it could/should be ~5 - 10 uA.
