powernconsumption calculation

Hello All,

we want to calculate the total power consumption when the controller is put on SYSTEM ON low power mode. Do you have any information on the way to do this?

Please advice Thanks in advance

  • Pavan,

    You have entire chip specification (on Infocenter) with all the electrical characteristics so you can model whatever you want (not mentioning that you don't say which Nordic chip you are using). It was mentioned on several places on this forum that such models are typically out of reality by 10-100% depending on how well you design the entire PCB (nRFx chip is not the only thing in your system!) and so it's always better to build the prototype and then measure and optimize (by both HW and FW changes). But if you want to compute you can.
