Hello to all,
I am trying to figure out the variation in current consumption as well as in clock cycles due to different memory regions and different offsets. During various experiments, I have found the following results:
LDR R4,[R1,#0x0] (R1 = 0x00000000 (Flash) with 0 offset) : Current = 2.60mAmps & Cycles = 2
LDR R4,[R1,#0x1] (R1 = 0x00000000 (Flash) with 1 offset) : Current = 2.07mAmps & Cycles = 4
LDR R4,[R1,#0x2] (R1 = 0x00000000 (Flash) with 2 offset) : Current = 2.30mAmps & Cycles = 3
LDR R4,[R1,#0x3] (R1 = 0x00000000 (Flash) with 3 offset) : Current = 2.08mAmps & Cycles = 4
from offset 4 it repeats the order. I mean Offset = 4 is equal to Offset = 0 ; Offset = 5 is equal to Offset = 1 ; Offset = 6 is equal to Offset = 2 ; Offset = 7 is equal to Offset = 3 ; Offset = 8 is equal to Offset = 0 and so on....
Similarly, while access SRAMX also :
LDR R4,[R1,#0x0] (R1 = 0x04000000 (Flash) with 0 offset) : Current = 2.88mAmps & Cycles = 1
LDR R4,[R1,#0x1] (R1 = 0x04000000 (Flash) with 1 offset) : Current = 2.30mAmps & Cycles = 3
LDR R4,[R1,#0x2] (R1 = 0x04000000 (Flash) with 2 offset) : Current = 2.65mAmps & Cycles = 2
LDR R4,[R1,#0x3] (R1 = 0x04000000 (Flash) with 3 offset) : Current = 2.29mAmps & Cycles = 3
On the basis of observation, I have three questions:
Kindly help me out with this. I am using LPCXpresso 54114 board, with ARM Cortex-M4 processor. And all the measurement have been taken at 12MHz.
Thanking you,

Dear Mr. Yiu,
Thank you ve much for such deep explanation. I am really thankful to you since the information was nowhere provided in detail and due to example now it is It is more clear to me. Your investment in time and energy was far beyond what I could have asked for.
Warm Regards,
