I just hung my trusty old Micronta bench DMM (22-175A, an oldie) on a PIC12F629 running off a 3V lithium coin cell. In SLEEP mode, it says the sucker is pulling .006 *microAmps*. Seems a little low to me, what do y'all think? I realize my meter may very well be insane in that range. It and the Fluke 77 agree on the battery voltage to within .001V, but that may not mean much I know. I wouldn't be surprised to see 2-3 uA, but this seems a little too good to be true.
