Hello together,
we are running the DTM in different modes to check the module (nrf52832, sdk 5 version 11). The carrier test gives us a current consumption that meets the specifications in the data sheet*. If we are running the transmitter test, the current is lower than during carrier test. We are wondering why this is the case? What is the chip doing during transmitter test with the settings below? Isn't it sending all the time?
For the transmitter test we use the following configuration:
-transmit channel 0
-pattern 16 times 0x0F
-power 4dBm
Using the following configuration still does not meet the current consumption of the carrier test:
-transmit channel 0
-pattern 37 times 0x55
-power 4dBm
*We assume that the values in the datasheet are the current consumption for the RF-part only. If we want to have the real current consumption, we need to add the current of the chip core. Is this correct?
Thx in advance!
