PCA10040 - any pins to measure current consumption of the SOC?https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/48644/pca10040---any-pins-to-measure-current-consumption-of-the-socHi I am using PCA10040 in order to develop nrf52 firmware. For now I would like to try to measure current consumption. Is there any couple of pins on the board I can use to connect a multimeter or related device to briefly measure current consumptionen-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 18 Jun 2019 09:05:35 GMTRE: PCA10040 - any pins to measure current consumption of the SOC?https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/193342?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 18 Jun 2019 09:05:35 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:2d86c24e-d563-4c98-bc43-fae64c13c3ebawneil<p>If it&#39;s resolved your issue, please verify the answer:</p> <p><img alt=" " src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/8831._5F00_Verify_2D00_answer_2D00_nordic.png" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: PCA10040 - any pins to measure current consumption of the SOC?https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/193313?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 18 Jun 2019 07:52:25 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:a8ae17d5-bf04-4408-8db6-dacd97122b8bAlex Co<p>Thanks!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: PCA10040 - any pins to measure current consumption of the SOC?https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/193098?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 17 Jun 2019 08:57:30 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:cf7da6c8-db7c-405f-a322-4b57bde344f0awneil<p>This is described in the <strong>User Guide</strong>!</p> <p>Note that a multimeter is not a very effective tool for this - because of the very &quot;peaky&quot; nature of the current.</p> <p><img alt=" " src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/X2019_2D00_06_2D00_12_2D00_1848_2D00_12.bmp" /></p> <p>Take a look at the <strong>Power Profiler Kit</strong>:</p> <p><a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/?sc_itemid=%7B3CF36A90-6BA3-4EFC-954C-D9C1AAFD638F%7D">https://www.nordicsemi.com/?sc_itemid=%7B3CF36A90-6BA3-4EFC-954C-D9C1AAFD638F%7D</a></p> <p>Other tools are available; eg,</p> <p><a href="https://www.qoitech.com/">https://www.qoitech.com/</a></p> <p>The image above was acquired using a current-sense amplifier and an oscilloscope.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
