How to test the power consumption of "System ON IDLE with GRTC (XOSC) and 256 KB RAM"

HI ALL,

   I used a system off demo and added the following content.

The power consumption tested was around 1uA, which should be normal according to the errata. Then, I wanted to test the idle state. Based on the above, I turned off the following content and tested that the power consumption was around 6uA.

This doesn't seem to match the specification book.

Is there any other way to test the power consumption of "System ON IDLE with GRTC (XOSC) and 256 KB RAM"?

note:v2.8.0,NRF54L15,QFAABB

  • I was tipped that this might be Errata 31 at play. There might be little peaks due to it.

    The peaks are not milliamperes high like we see in the Power Profiler, but this compounds with a limitation of the PPK, where the voltage is measured in multiple level ranges, and if the actual level crosses between ranges, a false peak is generated.

    Could you please try to install NCS at the main branch, and try again? A fix was made for it.
