High quiescent current of LDO ASM1117 on ESP32-PICO-KIT V4.1
Posted: Sat May 22, 2021 7:15 am
I am choosing a development board for a battery with solar operated device. I want to choose ESP32-PICO-KIT V4.1 because of its certifications. But the hitch is LDO ASM1117 on this board. The Quiescent current of this LDO is 5mA which is too much for battery operated device. Any good reason Espressif is using this LDO in this kit instead of say MC6211 or any other with low quiescent current with Standby Current: 0.1uA?. Or is it I am missing something?
