CURRENT CONSUMPTION OF NRF51822 DEVKIT - PCA10001 v1.0

[Matthieu Tardivon]

Hi,

I am using the PCA10001 v1.0 from the development kit and am having trouble measuring the same current as the one from the specification. I am using the ble_app_proximity example and measure 25-30uA between advertising peaks whereas around 3uA are expected. The jumper on P8 was removed during the measurements.

Do you have an explanation for that?

I included the URL of a post with a similar problem on a different board from the development kit (PCA10004) for those who are having such a problem.

Yes, that's exactly what I did for the current measurement. I will try to put the chip directly in __WFI() and tell you the result. However, I think there is another problem on this board as I do measure the 3uA on the PCA10001 v2.1 board with the same measurement system.
