i.MX 8M Mini Power Consumption
Measurement
1. Introduction
This application note helps you to design power
management systems. It illustrates the current drain
measurements of the i.MX 8M Mini application
processors taken on the NXP EVK platform through
several use cases. You may choose the appropriate
power supply domains for the i.MX 8M Mini processors
and become familiar with the expected processor power
consumption in various scenarios.
Because the data presented in this application note is
based on empirical measurements taken on a small
sample size, the presented results are not guaranteed.
