PCA10100 Power Profiler

[Junior]

Hi, I am looking to use the nrf power profiler to analyse power consumption with some configurations on the NRF52833.

I currently have the dev board PCA10100 and the power profile kit PCA63511. I didn't find any documentation or information about how to make the profiler work with PCA10100

I am using succesfully the same profile kit with the dev board PCA10040 (NRF52832).

Is it possible to make it work with the PCA10100 ? Do i need to modify the dev board (shorts, jumpers, trace cuts, etc.)

Thank you for your help.

Hi

That should be correct. You don't have a jumper cable on the P22 header while the PPK is connected, right? Does the PPK work on other DKs than the PCA10100? Please make sure the following switches are in these positions:

nRF52833 DK:

• nRF-power source (SW9) set to VDD
• VEXT->nRF (SW10) set to OFF
• SW6 set to DEFAULT

PPK:

• DUT select (SW2) set to DK
• Power select (SW4) set to DK (Reg. should be fine as well).
• COM (SW3) set to DK

Have you gotten the message "The PPK needs to be programmed" when connecting to nRFConnect with the PPK mounted on the DK? Make sure to press Yes here to ensure that the PPK gets the correct firmware flashed to it. LED2 on the PPK should be lit when powering the board on if this is done correctly

Best regards,

Simon
