Average BLE current (nrf52832)

[Robert]

Has Nordic provided a formula to calculate the average current using BLE based on the number of packets to send ?

My simulation on the Online Power Profiler for BLE just lets me simulate a maximum of 4 packets to send by giving me the "Total Average Current".

If my application has more than 4 packets to send, how would I know the "Total Average Current".

I attach a preview of my simulation on the Online Power Profiler for BLE.

Regards.

Hi Robert. What you're seeing is the total average current when you are constantly having an open connection and sending data back and forth. Not just 4 packets, but a constant stream of packets.

Thanks for your answer, Ivan. 

For instance, if i wanna exchange 20 packets with a receiver, how could i  find the "Total Average Current",  

The simulation did not allow me to go beyond 4 packets.

Hi Robert

This is one advertising event, which is what the Online Power Profiler shows. For multiple advertising events, the average current consumption would still be the same because it's the average for one full advertising event.
