nrf54l15-DK Power Consumption Test

hello,

I'm doing a power consumption test, but I'm not sure which project to use to test the power consumption.I tried the "peripheral_lbs" download with NCS version 2.8, but the power consumption is 0.45mA. Can you tell me which project  I can use to test the optimal power consumption of nrf54l15-DK?Can you provide a detailed step-by-step guide to power consumption testing? Thanks.

  • Hi,

     

    This is likely due to the UART being enabled. Can you try to set "CONFIG_SERIAL=n" in your prj.conf file and re-do the measurement?

    Due to the bluetooth advertisement, you should then see approx. 100 uA on average.

     

    Kind regards,

  • Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.With Uart disble,advertising power consumption is 110uA and the connected power consumption is 210uA, which is much higher than the results of the online power calculation tool.I've set the connection interval to 100ms.What do I have to do to get the lowest power consumption.

  • Hi,

     

    You are assuming no payload and no scan responses from nearby scanners. If you set the payload to > 20 bytes, and assume that there will be a scanner or two, meaning that the peripheral will send a scan_response back, it will extend the current consumption closer to 100 uA, depending on how much activity there is within range.

     

    Remember to check what your voltage is, by measuring the VDD here:

     

    On mine, it is 1.8V, so adjust that accordingly in the calculator, and you get approx. 100 uA with a 20 byte payload.

     

    Kind regards,
