Can I use a Torex XC9265 to power my nRF51822?

[PabloGC]

I've seen in two different posts that some people were trying to use this Torex XC9265A181MR-G in terms of being able to use a 3.7V LiPo battery. Can someone tell me if he/she has succed?

Ps. I'm interested in knowing if the XC9265B1814R-G with 50mA Output Current is enough

Hi Pablo,

took a quick look at the specs of the Torex XC9265 and it looks OK. 50mA output current should be more than enough for the nRF51822.

Best regards

Nice then, Thanks! Now I need to find a good battery...How much do you think is enough to power the nRF81522?

That depends on your use-case as parameters like advertisement interval connection interval will affect the current consumption of your device. Have you performed any current consumption measurements on your device? What kind of battery life are you aiming for?
