power consumed by ble advdertisement

Hi,

We are using Nrf51822 , pca1001 evaluation board.

when i flash bel_app_proximity code (by disabling led function in advertisement_star()),

current consumed by board during advertisement is 1.23 mA.

Is it seems to too high , can you tell, what will be correct current value.

Regards Balaji

  • If you look at the S110 specification, chapter 8, there is a advertising power profile. If you calculate that with a 25 ms interval, you can see if that matches your measured current. With 25 ms it should be around the area of 1 mA avg, depending on the length of your advertising packet.

    Usually, your debugger interface is active if you see 1.2 mA. turn the board off and then on again to return to normal run mode.
