 I just got a PPK2, I&amp;#39;m going to measure the current of a nrf52 custom board, which is supply with Li-ion battery. 
 Should I connect GND on PPK2 to battery(-) when I use Ampere meter mode? 
 If not, how should I connect the wire to get power consumption</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2025 05:34:09 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/117251/how-to-use-ppk2-measure-current-of-custom-board" /><item><title>RE: How to use PPK2 measure current of custom board?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/531618?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2025 05:34:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:09b2812b-a314-4588-a828-572f61beb8a1</guid><dc:creator>RohitSalavi</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a custom nRF52820 board powered by a coin cell, and I want to measure its power consumption using the Nordic Power Profiler Kit 2 (PPK2).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Could you please explain the correct connection setup for measuring the board&amp;#39;s power consumption, and which mode the PPK2 should be set to during measurement?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to use PPK2 measure current of custom board?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/514887?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 13 Dec 2024 12:46:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:2aadeece-6db1-4b34-b14e-e39af8945f77</guid><dc:creator>PaKa</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The current measurement on the PPK2 must always be on the high side, you can&amp;#39;t measure the current in the ground path. This can be seen as the voltage range is 0.8V to 5V.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;VIN should be battery plus, VOUT should be target input (nRF52 board) and GND should be connected to board GND.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to use PPK2 measure current of custom board?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/514864?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 13 Dec 2024 10:14:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:3af71991-79d5-43b4-a7e3-bbd700cbfa36</guid><dc:creator>Charlie</dc:creator><description>[deleted]&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
