Power consumption measurement using SmartSnippets
The power consumption of a reference design can be measured using the power profiler from the
SmartSnippets
™ tool. The reference design is supplied from the CIB, whereas a DA14580 PRO
Motherboard (DA14580DEVKIT-P_vB) is used for monitoring and measuring the current drawn.
The current measurement circuit from a DA14580DEVKIT-P_vB is connected in series between the
CIB and the reference design (see
). Then proceed as follows:
1. Remove the jumper from the
J16
header (CIB).
2. Remove the jumper from the
J11
header (DA14580DEVKIT-P_vB).
3. Use a cable to connect pin
23
from the
J5
header (DA14580DEVKIT-P_vB) to pin
1
from the
header
J16
(CIB).
4. Use another cable to connect pin
2
from the
J11
header (DA14580DEVKIT-P_vB) to pin
2
from
the header
J16
(CIB).
5. The power switch (
SW2
) from the CIB must be in position ON.
6. Connect the Pro Motherboard (DA14580DEVKIT-P_vB) to the PC using a USB cable.
7. Connect the CIB to the PC using another USB cable.
