Current measurement
To measure power consumption during test modes, connect a measurement device instead of the
jumper ”VDD TO EM” on the SmartRF06EB. This can be e.g. a digital multi meter with the range set
to mA or an oscilloscope.
To get the lowest possible current consumption, restart the SmartRF06EB after programming the
device and remove all the jumpers on the "JTAG Bypass" header (to avoid leakage current to the
debugger on the SmartRF06EB). Also remove the tiny current measurement circuit next to the
jumper, as the instrumentation amplifier will consume several microamperes.
Note:
If using an oscilloscope, do not use more than 1 ohm in series and make sure to run the board on
2xAAA batteries and move the board switch to BAT instead of USB. The scope ground will force the
supply to each potential, shorting the on-board LDO on the SmartRF06EB.
