https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/20766/the-peak-current-of-nrf52832Hi, The spec(nRF52832_PS_v1.3.pdf) said the peak current of TX/RX is 5.3/5.4 mA. However, I use the PCA10040 board and the ble_app_template(SDK 12.2.0) sample code to measure the peak current, the current is about 7 mA.

This is the current consupmtion for the radio only. The actual current consumption can be found by adding a base current of about 1.3 mA for the supporting functions. e.g. clock three, regulators etc.<br /> Unfortunately it looks like there are some leakage on the DK, causing the current to be slightly higher than it could have been.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/81084?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 24 Mar 2017 09:26:14 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:39f014aa-8dea-4e5a-8d12-c13b18d3e6ccWojtek<p>That is the current consumption of the RADIO peripheral i think. Not the whole system.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
