Is the DC/DC converter enabled when running ble_app_beacon?

Is the DC/DC converter enabled when running ble_app_beacon?

Or is it only the LDO that is enabled?

I am running the application on nRF51822-DK.

DC/DC is not enabled by default in the 'ble_app_beacon' example. You should also check out this thread on DC/DC: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/685/ldo-vs-dcdc-nrf51822/

Thanks for the answer. When I am measuring the voltage over the capacitor C10 (i.e. DEC2 and output from internal LDO according to figure 10 in chapter 11.1.1.2 and page 44 in nRF51 series reference manual v2.1) for nRF51822-DK I am measuring a value between 0.8V-1V. Shouldn't this value be something around 1.8V? For the moment I also have the solderbridge SB1 open. Should I shorten SB1 if I want to use only the LDO and not the DC/DC? BR Magnus
