nRF51 Current Consumption Specs

[CurtisHx]

On pages 49-50 on the nRF51 Product Specification, in section 8.5.2, there's a bunch of current consumptions listed for the Radio with the DC/DC disabled.

Do those values include the CPU power consumption? Or are those just for the radio? For example, if I had nRF51 with the CPU running at 16mhz and transmitting at 0dBm, would the current consumption be 10.5mA total? Or 10.5mA just for the transmitter, plus another 4.1mA for the CPU running at 16mhz, executing code from flash?

I believe those are just for the radio. If you look at section 14 of the product specification for the BLE power profiles it uses all the different current specifications to draw some nice graphs of the power used during different BLE events. They break out the radio power from the CPU, you may find those helpful.
