2.2.2.2 Active Current Measurement

To measure the active current of the CC35xxE device in a profile form, TI recommends using a 0.1Ω 1% 0603 resistor on the board and measuring the differential voltage across the resistor. This can be done using a voltmeter or an oscilloscope to measure the current profile for both power supplies (3.3V or 1.8V).

Jumper J16 shunt is removed and a 0.01 resistor is populated in parallel to measure the active currents on the 1.8V supply; see Figure 2-21. Perform a similar operation with J17 and 3.3V supply.

Note: The current measured on the 3.3V and 1.8V jumpers is the total current that goes to the CC35xxE, not including VIO1, VIO2, and VDDSF. These supplies provide a reference voltage for all of the IOs and some of the peripherals on the LP-EM-CC35X1 (ADC buffers, sensors, and so forth).
