Power consumption analysis

To measure the consumption of the device in real working conditions, an external power

supply of +5 V is connected to EXT5V.

The two traces on the following figures show the differentiation in the two input currents.

Once the internal linear regulator is turned on, the device consumption increases.

the input device current consumption measured by the VCC pin. Both switching sections

work in forced PWM mode. No load is applied on the outputs.
