https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/22074/current-consumption-of-nrf52832Hi, I am testing the current comsumption of nRF52832 using the original code of &quot;nRF5_SDK_13.0.0_04a0bfd\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_beacon &quot;. The peak TX current I measured was about 12.5mA. It doesn&#39;t match the results in devzone.nordicsemi.comen-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 16 May 2017 07:43:55 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/86682?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 16 May 2017 07:43:55 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:95c93210-bbb9-47c0-80f2-b16d3265e4f8Sigurd<p>Hi,</p> <p><a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/power/">The nRF52 Online Power Profiler</a> measurements are done with DCDC mode enabled. For custom boards you will need to have <a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.nrf52832.ps.v1.1/ref_circuitry.html?cp=2_2_0_52_1#schematic_qfn48_dcdc">DC/DC components</a> in order to enable DCDC mode. The nRF5x-DK supports DCDC mode.</p> <p>You can enable DCDC mode with the function <a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.s132.api.v4.0.2/group___n_r_f___s_o_c___f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n_s.html#ga84bd6a0e8f55a7aa85a5ec608edd61fe">sd_power_dcdc_mode_set()</a>.
