*The current consumption measurements are taken with a 3.3 V supply at 25 °C of ambient temperature at the RF port. All transmitters’ measurements are based on a 100% duty cycle. 

*During the measurements, a single 32-bit core was running at an operating frequency of 80Mhz while the other core was idle.
