TEST008A BLE Current Measure

Simple Shunt resistance with LPF and amplifiers to assist in current measurement of low power wireless devices with low cost test equipment.

Refer to the Sch PDF for details.

Load the shunt, filters and solder the links to setup for your individual use case.
Use RC filter time constants to suit your sampling instrument given the time over which it has to capture data (size of the capture buffer).
Attach a DSO or other sampling instrument at the test points at the outputs of the amplifiers, and subsequently integrate (can even be done in a spreadsheet) the capture to determine average power consumption.

The gerbers are the files I sent to PCBWAY. The Top Stencil is included.
