It would be good if this chip had good idle current comparable to other MCUs. I have used the ESP32S3 and it's idle current with the radio enabled, but not transmitting, is quite terrible.

My application needed both can bus and Bluetooth (though no wifi) so the S3 was one of the only options available. I'm sure the high current draw is because the wifi and ble share the same radio?

I had the same theory, but IIRC the H2 isn't much better with radio on.
