rapidM2M M220 proves power efficiency

Table of Contents

rapidM2M M220The rapidM2M M220 convinces with its ultra low power technology. In the latest tests, this has now been confirmed with impressive values. In PowerOn and standby mode, it has an average power consumption of only 22.97μA. During switch-on, the current consumption rose to 15 mA for approx. 2 seconds.

Different modes – low consumption

In the usual Microtronics manner, the rapidM2M M220 also offers different operating modes. This gives you an additional option for optimally adapting the consumption values to your application.

Operating mode VAUX = 3.82V VIN = 5V VIN = 12V VIN = 24V VIN = 32V
Interval 22.26μA 22.97μA 17.24μA 22.07μA 27.21μA
Wakeup 3.11mA 2.85mA 1.18mA 0.66mA 0.54mA
Online 27.51mA 25.8mA 10.44mA 5.71mA 4.42mA

Successful power reset endurance test

In addition, the rapidM2M M220 was subjected to an endurance test. A total of 10,500 power resets were carried out. Not a single memory error occurred. The script runs flawlessly the entire time (and continues to do so). Neither conspicuous log entries nor exceptions were produced in the firmware. The measurement data sets are available without gaps.

Maximise the Runtime of your Devices

The runtime of industrial battery-powered devices is an aspect that plays a relevant role in terms of efficiency and sustainability. If the devices are located in places that are difficult to access, such as in a canal, a device-lifelong runtime is an enormous increase in efficiency – not only for the devices, but also for the employees who maintain and support the systems.

Addition to the module family: Worldwide long-term availability and extreme energy efficiency

The impending 2G/3G sunset hangs over the mobile communications world like a sword of Damocles. Increasing requirements in terms of the number of subscribers, data rates and energy consumption are leading to further developments in the mobile communications sector. New technologies such as CAT-M1/NB1 and 5G are replacing 2G/3G and require the frequency bands that will be freed up by the sunset.
