ATmega88PA: Supply Current of IO Modules
The tables and formulas below can be used to calculate the additional current consumption for
the different I/O modules in Active and Idle mode. The enabling or disabling of the I/O modules
are controlled by the Power Reduction Register. See ”Power Reduction Register” on page 42 for
details.

It is possible to calculate the typical current consumption based on the numbers from Table 29-4
on page 356 for other VCC and frequency settings than listed in Table 29-3 on page 356.
Example
Calculate the expected current consumption in idle mode with TIMER1, ADC, and SPI enabled
at VCC = 2.0V and F = 1MHz. From Table 29-4 on page 356, third column, we see that we need
to add 13.6% for the TIMER1, 26.3% for the ADC, and 21.5% for the SPI module. Reading from
Figure 29-52 on page 353, we find that the idle current consumption is ~0.027 mA at VCC = 2.0V
and F = 1MHz. The total current consumption in idle mode with TIMER1, ADC, and SPI enabled,
gives:
ICCtotal ≈ 0.027 mA ⋅ (1 + 0.136 + 0.263 + 0.215) ≈ 0.043 mA
