Model A vs Model B power consumption measurements

Former Member

I thought this was interesting:

110mA - Model-A idle

330mA - Model-B idle

 

Thanks to RobertMM for posting the data.

these and several other measurements are shown here:

    How do you do tests when the Model A is not available yet?

    With the right tools you can convert a Model B to a Model A.  They use the same PCB.  Basically, you remove the LAN9512 and then hook up the BCM2835's USB port to the external connector by populating R36 and R37.  Details are in the schematics -- look for components tagged (A) and (B).  When you remove the LAN9512, the 1V8 error is no longer an issue.
