nrf9160 current consumption UARTE product specification

Hi

The nrf9160 product specification v2.0 changed the current consumption for UARTE from 1.5mA to 819.2mA. Revision history does not mention this hilarious change explicitly. Or is there any typo involved (maybe 819uA are meant?).

Additionally, the "Symbol" IUARTE,1M might refer to transferring rate of 1'000'000 bps. However, the "Description" states "@ 1200 bps". Is this a typo, too? Or what does 1200 bps mean in that context?

Thanks,
Matthias

  • These values should be uA (not mA), I will report this internally. 

    Additionally, the "Symbol" IUARTE,1M might refer to transferring rate of 1'000'000 bps. However, the "Description" states "@ 1200 bps". Is this a typo, too? Or what does 1200 bps mean in that context?

    I can confirm the description should also be 1000000bps (not 1200bps).
