If I read the book correct it is 0.9uA with a VDD of 2V and WDT disabled in
power down. It goes up to 153uA with BOR enabled at 5.5Vdd...

Subject: [PIC]: Ridiculously low current?


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.
