Hello, I'm working on ultra low power system design. I'm using Telos Rev. B as a research platforms. While developing, i was trying to put the mote in its lowest power mode. I believe the MSP430 should go to LPM 4. I've done that. The mote still consumes about tens of µA which has to be around hundreds of nA. I'm suspecting the FTDI chip since it's not powered through the MCU which make its power mode (if there were any) uncontrollable. I don't know if some of you have tried that. So if this's true i'll just disconnect the power line that goes to FTDI chip and control it using a mosfet transistor connected to MCU.
Any hints will be apreciated.
