https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/47713/esim-current-consumptionI&#39;m designing a board using nRF9160 with eSIM. But according to the eSIM specifications (chip spec), the current consumption is &lt;4mA@1.8V. Is this continuous current consumption? Or does the nRF9160 turn it on and off? 4mA is way to much when sensor sleepen-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 11 Nov 2019 08:50:11 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/219392?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 Nov 2019 08:50:11 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:b177f019-e111-4c6c-a0b9-6dffe07605b6Bard<p>Measuring the current consumption in PSM mode, it sees as if the eSIM is using very little current. Not like stated in the eSIM specifications.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/189016?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 24 May 2019 11:11:13 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:e0987a3d-f323-4e23-a1a2-e2cf71c0c796bjorn-spockeli<p>Hi B&aring;rd,</p> <p>4mA@1.8V sounds extremely high. We typically see eSIM current consumption between 2-15 X the PSM floor current, i.e. between 5.5-40uA, depending on the eSIM used.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is possible to turn of the SIM card during PSM to reduce the current consumption, but this must be supported by the SIM.</p> <p>Best regards</p> <p>Bj&oslash;rn</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
