How can I measure the sleep current for nRf5340

[shreya lingayat]

I have DK of nRF5340, I want to get started with it and create the development env, as well as I need to measure the sleep current for this module?

Any quick tutorial which I could follow to create development env?

Nordic has a powerprofiler kit with very precise current measurement, you can use it to power your application and measure power usage.

https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-hardware/Power-Profiler-Kit-2

Make sure to isolate other components from influencing your measurement results.

```The nRF5340 DK is typically powered via USB, but can be powered by a wide range of sources, within the supply range of 1.7 to 5.0 V. In addition to USB, it can be powered with external source, but also includes a CR2032 battery holder and a Li-Po battery connector, for in-field testing. Current consumption can be measured by using the dedicated current measurement pins, for example by using Nordic's Power Profiler Kit II.```

Kind regards,

Berend

I'm trying to create development env for nRF5340, by following the getting started guide by Nordic,

while installing the toolchain from toolchain manger as well as from vscode, I see myself running into the above same errors, which is stopping me from moving ahead with the tutorial ,

what could possibly be wrong here?

Nordic has a powerprofiler kit with very precise current measurement, you can use it to power your application and measure power usage.

Hi Berend, 

Is it necessary to use the  Power Profiler Kit II, as on the DK of nRF5340 I can see something written as nRF current measurement above two pins, which made me think that there must be some sample example for this DK which I lcan load and use those pins to measure the current/power consumption when it is in sleep mode

[berendvisser]

If you remove the jumper on those pins and put a amp meter in between (a regular multimeter can do this), you can measure the current the device uses.

The powerprofiler kit is just a handy tool to measure and log current precisely.

Which OS are you using?

Im using ubuntu 22.04LTS and have no issue
