| contents | Power consumption is a crucial aspect of IoT devices which often have to run on a battery for an extended period of time. Therefore, supply current measurements are crucial before deploying a device in the field. Multimeters and oscilloscopes are not well suited when it comes to measuring very small currents which occur e.g. when an IoT device is in sleep mode. In this report, we compare dedicated source measurement units (SMUs) which allow to measure very small currents with high precision. As an application example, we demonstrate current measurements on our MoleNet IoT sensor board. |
