Power Profiler Kit power consumption testing issues with DUT

[Akshay Pathak]

Hello,

I have got nrf Power Profiler Kit for power consumption testing in our application board.
I have a question regarding its output voltage for DUT devices.
My application board requires 3.8V min to operate and as per i have came to know that PPK gives only 3.6V max ,so my query ,is there any way possible that i get a 5V output so that i can see the power consumption of my board.
Kindly share your knowledge and let me know if there's possibility of checking power consumption in my board.

Thanks&Regards
Akshay Pathak

Hi Akshay, 

as far as I know there is no possibility to configure the PPK to output 5V to an external DUT due to voltage regulator on the PPK.

You can use an external supply on P22, and power your device from P16. If you do this, the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM is 3.9 volts, and we cannot guarantee this voltage will not break anything on the PPK. That being said, I do believe this would work:)
