Need to measure current consumption for transmit and receive for 2NR module (nRF54L15)

[Puja Sah]

Hello,

I am looking for ways to measure current during the transmit and receive test for the 2NR modules.

Can you please provide me the steps to do that?

Also what application did you use to test it from your end?

What are your test results?

Thanks,
Puja

Hi Puja

What version of the nRF54L15 PDK are you using here? Prior to v0.9.2 of the DK hardware we had engineering revisions of the nRF54L15 SoC, so doing current consumption measurement on those won't necessarily be correct.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

I got the new board. Can you please let me know the answer of the following question?

I am seeing the following options to start transmit sweep, carrier. Which one should I actually use to transmit and then receive? I want to measure transmit current and receive current.

start_rx : Start RX
start_rx_sweep : Start RX sweep
start_tx_carrier : Start the TX carrier
start_tx_modulated_carrier : Start the modulated TX carrier
start_tx_sweep : Start TX sweep
time_on_channel : Time on each channel in ms (between 1 and
<time>
transmit_pattern : Set the transmission pattern

Thanks,
Puja

Also even with the new nordic EVK I see 7.7 mA transmit current.
