Hello everyone,
I'm using PIC16F506 with thermistor to do some ADC measurements.
Currently using internal 4MHz oscillator on 5VDC & operating current around 1mA.
How do I reduce the current, let say below 100uA?
Will a low power crystal like 32.768kHz reduce the operating current?
Any other way beside entering sleep mode to conserve current?
or the thermistor consume too much current?
Pls help & thanks in advance!
