Test power consumption of SGTL5000 under sleep mode #19

Closed dkadish closed 1 year ago

dkadish commented 1 year ago

SGTL doesn't really have a sleep mode. Has a set of registers that can be disabled. But the disable in the library doesn't actually disable them. See https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/Audio/blob/master/control_sgtl5000.h#L44

Could benefit from an LDO.

To test, see power consumption BEFORE enable versus after.

The SGTL power consumption was tested by having the chip off for a number of cycles and then enabling it.

Mode Current (mA) Power (mW)
Dis -125 -502
Dis -125 -501
Dis -125 -501
Dis -125 -501
En -125 -501
En -125 -501
En -125 -501

This test seemed unsuccessful.

Conclusion is to add an optional LDO for the SGTL in #16
