nRF51822 Average current consumption

Hi Where do I find a measurement report from Nordic which shows the average current consumption for a typical BLE application (1 seconds advertising period e.g.)?

Until now, I could not find any official AppNote or numbers even though it is a very essential key value.

TI measurement report for your reference: www.ti.com/.../swra347a.pdf

Thanks for your help & best regards

  • I think what Rashid is hoping for, and I would love to see as well, is something similar to the nRFGO Studio tool for nRF800x devices that shows current consumption and battery life calculations for a specified advertising and connection interval profile.

    Obviously, when you have user code running too, it's very hard to provide a complete power profile -- but at least having the Soft Device power consumption profile would allow developers to set expectations and look to tune power management in their own code/design.
