  1. clock - 10-100 microwatts, we're running at ~3.3 volts: 3-30 microamps
  2. accelerometer - 120 samples: 300 microamps, standby (not enabled): 2-10 microamps
  3. thermal - 6 microamps (typical)
  4. buck-boost doesn't seem to turn off, but it should really only losses when driving the led.
  5.  
  6. atmega168pa - 150 microamps at 1MHz, 15 microamps at 32 khz (including on-board oscillator) - .1 microamps powered down. There are some sleep modes available, but they only really matter in standby
  7. atmega168pa - 3 milliamps active supply current, 1mA idle supply current
  8.  
  9. http://www.atmel.com/Images/doc2545.pdf: page 321 has some notes on adjusting power consumption by disabling io subsystems

  12. ----------------------------------------
  13. current voltage regulator losses: 5.4 mA used total, 2.64 milliamps consumed by components with a loss of 2.75 milliamps
  14.  
  15. Formula for power loss in the voltage regulator: (4.2 - 3.3) * .500 + (4.2*.09)
  16. .5 milliamps consumed by other components would cause a power loss of .83 milliamps, with 1.33 milliamps used
  17. 1 milliamp consumed, loss of 1.27 milliamps, 2.27 milliamps used
  18. 2 milliamps consumed, loss of 2.178, 4.178 milliamps used
  19. 3 milliamps consumed, loss of 3.078, 6.078 milliamps used
