4.2.4.4 MGC3X30 Power Profile
The MGC3X30 power profile is illustrated in Figure 4-5.
FIGURE 4-5: MGC3X30 POWER PROFILE
MGC3X30 current consumption for the different
operation modes are summarized in Table 4-1. 
The Self Wake-up mode current consumption depends
on the number of active channels during Self Wake-up
mode, Approach Scan and Calibration Scan repetition
period. Changing these parameters results in different
current consumption values.

Note: In Processing mode, there are always five
Rx channels activated. Choosing only four
Rx channels in Aurea does not have an
impact on the current consumption during
Processing mode.
