Current Consumption Measurements
This application note provides current consumption measurements in two of the most common modes: advertising
and scan mode.

6.1
Advertising Mode
The BLE technology broadcasts connection packets in the advertising mode. For example, a temperature sensor
broadcasts at certain intervals when temperature data is available. The devices that are scanning for data would
then connect with the advertising device and download the temperature data. This is an example of a non-con-
nected mode.
