250 µs = 1.25 µAs (charge for turn around (TX to RX, RX to TX, etc.))
A data packet consists of 24 bytes.
24 bytes = 240 bits (USART connection)
T
The system will use five predefined channels for frequency hopping spread
spectrum (FHSS) which gives improved immunity against interferers
Loop filter settling time will be 110 µs
If not in use, the handheld device will be in power-down mode with the AVR’s
watchdog timer disabled. The AVR power-down current is typically 1.25 µA. If
an external voltage regulator is used, additional power-down current has to be
taken into account
The base station will periodically scan all the channels of the used subset. The
base station will stay on one channel for 2 seconds. If the base station receives
a correct packet, an acknowledge will be returned to the handheld device. The
power consumption of the base station device is not power-sensitive, as this
part of the application is normally mains powered
5030 µs = 155 µAs (charge up time ATR2406 + AVR internal calculations)
30 µs = 0.93 µAs (charge for configuring the ATR2406)
110 µs = 3.41 µAs (charge for settling the loop filter)
210 µs = 9.87 µAs (charge for transmitting the packet)
30 µs = 0.93 µAs (charge for configuring the ATR2406)
60 µs = 1.86 µAs (charge for settling the loop filter)
50 µs = 3.10 µAs (charge until valid data can be received)
210 µs = 13.02 µAs (charge for receiving the packet)
