I was reading the datasheet and found something that seems odd. Section 34.1.3, Supply Current of IO Modules, had the power usage of the various. Timer 0 us listed as increasing power consumption (vs Idle) by 4.8%. Timer 1 increases it by 14.5%. But Timer 2 increases it by 17.8%! Why the huge consumption by timer 2? I can see the 16 bit timer consuming more power than the 8 but (though nearly triple seems high, I'd have expected double or so), but Timer 2 is also 8 bit.
Anyone know the reason for this?
Anyone have experimental data on this? A project I'm working on (where power consumption is tight) uses 2 timers. I had planned to use 0 and 2, since I don't need 16 bits, but perhaps I should use 0 and 1 instead....
