Measuring current consumption

Hello,

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../current-measurement-guide-measuring-current-with-n

The above is nordic's official current measurement guide, using official tools.

If there is no hardware tool, you can amplify it through an operational amplifier, or connect a small resistance in series at the power supply end and measure the current by dividing the voltage.

Hope it helps.

Hi

If you're looking for hardware to measure current consumption on your design, please check out our Power Profiler Kit II which is designed to do exactly this. It has both ampere meter and source meter modes that you can use to measure current consumption on various circuits, including the Nordic Development Kits. The user guide for the PPK can be found here.

Best regards,

Simon
