https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/640/nrf51822-nvmc-power-specI can&#39;t seem to find the required current of NVMC doing erase and write. The product spec has only timings but not more. Could someone from Nordic provide some figures? Experimental measurements are welcome too! I need this information to determinen-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 15 Oct 2013 08:07:06 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/3276?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 15 Oct 2013 08:07:06 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:37d8c29c-e0c3-46d0-a40b-09ade06c7ce6Ling LI<p>Thanks Rallare. That&#39;s an encouraging number. I looked up other vendors&#39; comparable chips (Cortex M0, M0+, M3), and their flash write current are in the range of 5~7 mA. It seems nRF51 integrated a better type of low-power Flash memory.</p> <p>Well done Nordic. Hope you can put more data into the spec. Like this one, and the one of GPIOTE. We also like to see more low-power goodies -- how about DMA-enabled peripherals?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/3275?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 15 Oct 2013 07:57:23 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:e21404cc-531c-4945-9880-e0c6670ce09eRallare<p>I did a test on this once, where I filled up one flash page and measured the current.</p> <ul> <li>When programming 1 page the average was ~3.3 mA (normal MCU run current is 4.4mA)</li> <li>When erasing a page in the main loop i measured ~2.4 mA.</li> </ul> <p>The MCU is halted during these flash operations, so it&#39;s expected that the current is a bit lower than MCU-runcurrent.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
