7 Low Power Design 7.1.1 DRX N510-GL supports DRX mode. Modules access the network normally. Without applying for PSM and eDRX, if there is no data service interaction, the module will automatically enter the lower power DRX mode (sending configuration messages automatically from the network side). In this mode, the bottom current of the module entering low power consumption is about 200 uA, and the average power consumption is reduced to 3.7 mA. UART and GPIO work normally in DRX mode. 7.1.
7.1.3 PSM N510-GL can enter the power saving mode, which has lower power consumption and a typical value of 2.8uA. In this mode, the module is basically powered off, only the clock circuit is powered on, and the wake-up function is supported.
