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

&lt;p&gt;PCA10036: 3.9mA&lt;br /&gt;
PCA10040: 5.6mA&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
