Current measurements with power modes on nrf52

[Manuel55]

Hi, At the moment I'm trying to make some current measurements with the new nrf52 dev-kit from the global tech tour. Unfortunately I'm not able to go into Idle- or even the power off mode with "sd_power_system_off()". Have you got an example which shows dealing with different power modes in an easy way? It would be very usefull, if I could measure the mentioned currents of 400nA and 1.2uA. For measuring, I use an Agilent N6705B PowerAnalyzer and I power the device external directly from the Analyzer with 2.3V.

Best Regards

Hi Lakerno

What is the issue exactly, high current consumption or the example not working?

If you have PCA10040 0.9.0 with Engineering B chip, you should use softdevice and SDK example that is compatible with Engineering B, see the nRF52 compatibility matrix
