https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/66782/nrf9160-peak-current-consumptionHow wide are the peaks? I know that it depends on many factors how high and long the peaks are. Currently we have measured peaks of 450 mA for 40-50 ms in our application. But is there a maximum possible time for the large current Peaks?en-USTelligent Community 13Wed, 07 Oct 2020 10:58:19 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/273449?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 07 Oct 2020 10:58:19 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:358b9493-4945-40fa-a74a-29d9d855a67dJONATHAN LL<p>Hi Benjamin,<br /><br /><br />So the time will depend on the modem as it is the one in control for the power use when transmitting and receiving. But a main factor is the network solution, if LTE-M is used or NB-IoT. For NB-IoT the bitrate is lower which&nbsp; means the TX time has to be on for a longer period to transmit the same amount of data that LTE-M would for the same amount of data.<br /><br />Link to <a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Events/2020/Webinar-Cloud-connectivity-and-protocols-for-IoT">nordic tech webinar</a>&nbsp;(21 October) that will shed some lite on the power usage over time.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Jonathan</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
