Power Profiler Kit II pin connections in ampere mode contradicting documentation

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ug_ppk2/UG/ppk/measure_current_ampere_meter.html says

PPK2 DK
VIN P24 VDD_nRF'
VOUT P24 VDD_nRF
GND P28

Table 1. Pin connections in Ampere Meter mode

while https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ug_ppk2/UG/ppk/PPK_user_guide_Quick_start.html says

Connect the PPK2 to the DK with a 4-pin measurement cable using the following pins:

* PPK2 VIN to P24 VDD_nRF

* PPK2 VOUT to P24 VDD_nRF'

* PPK2 GND to P28

Is it thus fair to assume VIN and VOUT can be used interchangeably in ampere meter mode?

  • Hi

    Not interchangeably, no. Please look at the reference picture. The Vin cable should connect to the bottom pin (VDD_nRF' closest to the micro-USB cable) and Vout should be connected to VDD_nRF. I have reported this as it seems to be a documentation error in the quick start guide. Keenly spotted, and thank you for letting us know about this

    Best regards,

    Simon
