Measuring current
Note: An ampere-meter will measure the average current drawn by the nRF5340 SoC if:
• The SoC is in a state where it draws a constant current, or, the activity on the device changing
load current, like BLE connection events, is repeated continuously and has a short cycle time
(less than 100 ms) so that the ampere-meter will average whole load cycles and not parts of the
cycle.
• The dynamic range of the ampere-meter is wide enough to give accurate measurements from 1
µA to 15 mA.
It is recommended that you use a true RMS ampere-meter.
