Power Profiler Kit II Current measurement tool for embedded development Key features 200nA to 1A current measurement range with a resolution that varies between 100nA and 1mA Source mode and ampere meter mode Source mode includes built-in programmable regulator with a 0.8V to 5V output range and up to 1A current supply 100 ksps sampling rate (10 x greater than previous generation) Standalone unit 8 digital inputs for low-end logic analyzer support Measure instantaneous and average Power Profiling made easy current on all Nordic DKs, in addition to The Power Profiler Kit II (PPK2) is an easy-to-use tool for current measurements and power consumption optimization of embedded solutions. custom boards The PPK2 connectors can be connected to any Nordic DK or custom board Supported through nRF Connect for as a standalone unit, i.e. there are no requirements for additional kits or Desktops Power Profiler app debuggers. The PPK2 supports both a source mode and an ampere meter Export measurement data for post- mode. processing In the source mode, shown as source measure unit (SMU) on the PCB, the Applications PPK2 both supplies power and measures the current of the external device under test (DUT). The source mode has an on-board regulator capable of Power debugging of embedded supplying up to 1A peak currents. Both modes support VCC levels between applications 0.8V and 5V. In the ampere meter mode, the DUT is powered by a separate Estimate battery lifetime of completed power source. solution High accuracy and resolution The PPK2 has an advanced analog measurement unit with a high dynamic Kit content input range. This allows for accurate current consumption measurements for Power Profiler Kit II board the entire range typically seen in embedded applications, all the way from 4-pin current measurement cable, 10-pin 200nA to 1A. This allows measuring everything from Power Off mode of the logic port cable DUT to the maximum power consumption of any Nordic DUT or external HW with headroom to spare for additional circuit draw, e.g. an nRF9160 DK with external sensors. Needed resources nRF Connect for Desktops Power Profiler The resolution varies between 100nA and 1mA, depending on the current app measurement range. The time resolution is also high enough to detect spikes. This is achieved by having a 100 ksps sampling rate of the current, 10x the resolution of the long term view of our previous generation PPK. Order information Improve code debugging nRF-PPK2 Power Profiler Kit II, current The PPK2 includes support for 8 digital inputs that can be used as a low-end measurement tool for logic analyzer. This makes it possible to instrument the code and make it easy embedded development to link the power consumption to blocks of code being executed.

Easy to use desktop application The PPK2 is supported by an nRF Connect for Desktop Power Profiler app for analyzing both average and instantaneous current consumption. It is possible to take readings over an extended duration, while simultaneously zooming in on a millisecond interval of interest. Measured data can also be exported for post- processing.
