Can anyone help me please?

Post by kimbomc » Fri Jun 13, 2008 3:07 pm

Hi all,

i am very new to this so i hope i haven't posted in the wrong place.
I have a small circuit designed using a PIC10F200 microchip which control LEDs flashing and the data sheet of the microchips says that it should use 100 nano amps whilst in sleep mode, however it seems to be using significantly more than this. I have looked for meters that are capable of measuring nano amps but they priced at around $10,000USD each. Can anybody suggest a simple circuit i could build that would allow me to measure the current of round 100 nano amps.

I would very much appreciate some help and support with this project.

Thanks to all in advance.

Christopher

A circuit diagram would have been useful.

Do you have any pull ups working while the PIC is sleeping ?
