Power Consumption Measurements  

The current measurements in this section have been obtained using the Agilent N6705B DC power 
analyzer. 

Figure 43 

presents a simplified block diagram of the DA14681 wearable reference design, 

showing the various test points where the actual current measurements have been taken for each 
sensor and peripheral of the system.
