PPK2 able to detect current draw from each subsystem?

[esmart-engineering]

I was wondering if there was a way to use the Nordic Power Profiler Kit II (PPK2) as an ampere meter, and be able to determine more details about what portion of the current draw comes from which subsystem of the nRF dev kit. For example, say there's an average current draw of 3mA. Can the PPK2 determine that 1mA of it is due to the timer running, 0.5mA of it is due to so-and-so peripheral, etc?

Hello,

The PPK2 does not have the capability to automatically determine how much current is consumed by each individual subsystems (such as timers, specific peripherals, or the core) within the nRF device. It can be used as an ampere meter to measure the total current consumption of your device or development kit in real time. You can however,  try to isolate and measure the impact of each subsystem individually by enabling/disabling them in controlled tests.
