Current consumption is too high during the advertisementhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/65241/current-consumption-is-too-high-during-the-advertisementWe are developing a beacon with nrf52810. We test ble_app_beacon example and a modified example( the difference is, advertising packets are connectable to be applicable in our case ) but we observed that the current is very high during advertiment inen-USTelligent Community 13Thu, 27 Aug 2020 02:40:06 GMTRE: Current consumption is too high during the advertisementhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/266604?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 27 Aug 2020 02:40:06 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:7b6eaa36-a1f2-4053-a58b-95b8b9355640Hive777<p>Hi, Simonr</p> <p>Thanks for your reply. I think we&#39;ve figured it out.Just as you said, we disabled the DCDC regulator. Actually I didn&#39;t know the DCDC regulator is disabled by default so we need to enable it manually in the code. After doing that, we get the expected result.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, thank you very much!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Current consumption is too high during the advertisementhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/266494?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 26 Aug 2020 12:27:10 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:7088a4bb-ba80-4ec0-be34-b6e3b45424afSimonr<p>Hi</p> <p>Can you tell me a little more about your nRF52810 board? Is this a custom board, a module, or a development kit of some kind? If you disable the DCDC regulator (don&#39;t have their components in your design), the peak current is increased to ~10.9mA, and if your nRF52810 board also has components that draw a bit extra current, the peak current can get up to 12mA. What is the total average current you&#39;re seeing when advertising with your device?</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Simon</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
