Can the current on nPM1304’s VOUT be read?

[Tom.Fu]

Hi Support Team 

Can the nPM1304 support the features that the current on VOUT1/2 can be read real time and the magnitude of the current can be controlled? Many thanks.

Hi 

It is not possible to read the current from VOUT1/2 rails nor current control. But you can fairly approximate the battery current (> ~ 5mA) using the integrated IBAT measurement.

Hello,

There's a 10 bit ADC on the chip that can measure internal parameters as described here: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ps_npm1304/page/chapters/core_components/saadc/doc/frontpage.html

It's not possible to measure/monitor the voltage on Vout1/2 as stated by Tharaka above here.
