power consumption of nRF52 blinky example

[Juba Belgaid]

Hi,

What is the power consumption you measured when running blinky example over PCA10040 or PCA10036 ?

Best regards

Measured power consumption of blinky example is:

PCA10036: 3.9mA
PCA10040: 5.6mA

The blinky example will keep the CPU constantly on and do not use DC/DC. Putting the CPU to sleep and using DC/DC will reduce the current substantially. The increase in current is due to added features in the new version of the chip.
