I am trying to come up with an estimate for the current consumption of my application for the nRF51822 and I am getting a little bit confused.
To give you a broad overview of what i am doing: The CPU starts the radio and is then sent to sleep via __WFE(). From this point the CPU is only used during interrupt handling to control the radio. The radio runs in BLE mode.
-
Whats the current consumption of the CPU during the sleeping phases? Is it just I_ON,16k ? Am I missing anything?
-
Do the values for RX and TX currents include the clock ressources needed?
-
Are there any shared ressources between CPU and Radio that i need to take of when adding the current values?
