To measure current, you must first prepare the Preview Development Kit (PDK).
The suggested configurations actually split the power domains for the nRF5340 System on Chip (SoC) and the rest of the PDK.
Figure 1. Preparing the PDK for current measurements
- To put P22 in series with the load, cut the PCB track shorting solder bridge
SB40.
- To restore normal kit function after measurement, solder SB40 or apply a jumper
on P22.
- To reprogram the nRF5340 SoC while the PDK is prepared for
current measurements, remove measurement devices from P22, and then connect the
USB cable.
