Hello,
I am developing a project with a tms320c6713 powered by batteries. I would like
to reduce power consumption to minimum while CPU is running my algorithms to
process data from the microphone input. I was thinking of disable all
peripherals except those needed to capture audio from microphone, process
samples, and store some values in memory and/or flash. I'm afraid I will
have to keep most of the peripherals enabled to do the work, but my main concern
comes from the power consumption of peripherals compared with CPU consumption.
After reading spra889a and trying some values in the associated spreadsheet, I
think that comsumption of peripherals is less than 10% of total consumption of
the system. Am I wrong?
Thanks for your help,
Toni.

Any power consumption will vary with "what you are doing". The CPU
and EMIF can probably use the most power, but also has the best
opportunity for power savings.
1. Use the most efficient LDOs.
2. Run the CPU as slow as you can afford to.
3. Run the core voltage at 1.15v and the I/O at 3.1v
4. If you need some higher performance 'burst processing', you can do
most of your work with the PLL powered down. Power up the PLL when you
need a burst of performance.
Note: I have not performed any performance/power consumption work on the 6713B.

Thanks mikedunn,
I have been trying several values for PLL's registers, including powering down the pll, and I have reduced power consumption for more than 40% while my algorithms still run.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards,
Toni.
