Power consumption too high in active mode #39

Open
@CSC-Olivier

Description

Problem: The SAMD21E17A chip uses 8mA in active mode (internal oscillator) and 9mA in active mode (with an external 32kHz crystal)
The datasheet (table 37-8 page 988) state the consumption in active should be around 3mA

How to reproduce the problem:
Hardware setup: bare chip with 0.1uF bypass cap on VDDIN and VDDANA connected to VCC. 0.1uF cap between VDDCORE and GND. VDDIN and VDDANA are at VCC=3V

Software: Blank sketch compiled using this core uploded with SWD using a J-Link (no bootloader).
BOD33 fuse disabled
USB disabled in the core menu options
