uartpower


Example Summary

UART application using power management. This example has one thread that repeatedly writes a buffer out to the UART for a fixed number of times, and then sleeps for 5 seconds. While the thread is asleep, the processor goes into a low power mode (eg, LPDS for CC32XX). The power consumption can be measured by connecting an ammeter to the appropriate pins on the LaunchPad.

Resources & Jumper Settings

If you’re using an IDE (such as CCS or IAR), please refer to Board.html in your project directory for resources used and board-specific jumper settings. Otherwise, you can find Board.html in the directory <SDK_INSTALL_DIR>/source/ti/boards/<BOARD>.

Example Usage

The connection will have the following settings:

    Baud-rate:     115200
    Data bits:          8
    Stop bits:          1
    Parity:          None
    Flow Control:    None

By connecting an ammeter to the appropriate jumper, you can see the current usage drop while the thread is asleep.
