5.2.2 Fine measurement of current consumption
This test uses the following steps with an oscilloscope to measure the fine current consumption of
MK8000 EVB. The current consumption is equal to the voltage measured by the scope / the resistance
of R145 (default value 1Ohm)
1. Power off the MK8000 EVB
2. Leave the J95 at the disconnect state and short the J96
3. Connect the two pins of J95 to the oscilloscope and each pin connect to a channel
4. Power on the EVB by J105
6. Conclusion
The MK8000 chipset is UWB technology based feature rich wireless SoC. This document provides a step-by-
step guidance to help users starting the testing and evaluation of MK8000 chipset. There are two example tests
that had been described in this document.
The MK8000 EVB mainly serves as a testing and evaluation platform for MK8000 chipset. For PoC and
prototype development of UWB based applications, MK8000 DK (design kit) is recommended. For advanced
functionality and performance test as well as the information of MK8000 DK, please contact the customer
