nRF51822 Average current consumption

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.

Thanks for the hint Section 8.2 is informativ and gives an idea of realistic processing time and current values. But I still miss a pre-calculated description or comparison of different scenarios such as "Average current consumption with 1sec advertising interval" and the like.

However using chapter 8.2 it should be possible to do this calculations by oneself.

Best regards Rashid

Hi there,

Section 8 of the SoftDevice Specification lists power profiles for both advertising and connection.

Section 8 of the nRF51822 Product Specification will give you concrete values for the currents referred to by the SoftDevice Specification.

I am not sure if that will cover what you require, but it should at least help provide some insight.

Regards,

Carles
