power #9

I don't think this will run on battery. MicroPET r1 used about .3A @5v, with the addition of RTCC, SD-Card, USB and Ethernet it will sure not be less. Also, the 50MHz oscillator and the CPLD get pretty warm, so burning a lot of power. |
You sugest MPet use more power than cell phone? |
The Micro-PET R2 uses - without Ethernet or USB attached - uses 0.55A at 5V, i.e. around 2.75W. A modern smartphone seems to be using .5-1W depending on usage profile, even without screen backlight in some situation, as far as I can read e.g. from https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/usenix10/tech/full_papers/Carroll.pdf So, the Micro-PET does indeed use more energy than a modern smartphone, but not as much as I actually assumed. A random smartphone battery I found has 3.8V, and 8Wh (2100mAh) - so that would be about 2.1Ah at 3.8V, or around 3.8h at .55A for a Micro-PET. So I guess with this battery you could run it for about 3-4 hours - without a screen though. A case that contains a Micro-PET and full size keyboard should provide enough space to hold two or even more of these batteries to supply the screen and extend the runtime. Do you have a suggestion for a nice VGA-compatible mobile display with low power consumption? |
Many thanks. Very interesting information. |
Is possible put lipo or AA power?
mobile device CPET will be incredible. Small processor == need small power
