how to calculate current from square pulses

my device giving output as square pulses.but would like to control current from the range 50uA to 500uA of square pulses.how to calculate it. can someone help me

    • The output voltage on the GPIOs will always be the same as your supply voltage (Vdd).

    • The GPIOs on the nRF51 can be configured to supply up to 0.5mA in standard drive and 5mA in high drive.

    • You can use timers and GPIOs to make a square wave with various frequencies and duty cycles.

    • If you need to control the current sent into the electrodes you will need additional circuitry.

    • Since the output voltage is constant you will need to know the load resistance to calculate the current (ohm's law).

    • I suppose you can measure the current, but then you will need additional circuitry again.
