Question

STM32L452 current consumption in STOP 2 mode is less than datasheet indications.

When I run the PWR_STOP2 example from the STM32Cube_FW_L4_V1.15.0 on a STM32L452VE, I measure a current consumption egal to 1.6 uA instead of 2.05 uA.

The datasheet and STM32CubeMX indicate 2.05 uA without RTC for this target.

It's a great news 8) but I'm afraid that it hides something wrong.

For information, when I run this same example for and on a STM32L476, the current measured is in accordance to the datasheet indications.

Can you help to understand this good news? ;)

In advance, thank you.

    Datasheet value may differ from the typical values but not be more tha the max value, if given.

    You ambient temperature may also differ, having also great influence.

    Thank you.

    My ambient temperature is about 25°C.

    With STM32CubeMX, the current consumption simulation doesn't allow to have a consumption less than 2.05 uA in STOP 2 mode.

    Often, the values indicate are the best that we hope to observe. Is it right?

    Typical values are typical. About 50 % of parts will be above and 50 % below that value.

    Even for a low power consumption?

    Yes. That is what typical values are for.
