Power management is the most concerning issue in IoT design, and accurately measuring current is particularly important.
Because low-power devices related to IoT consume power at varying rates, current consumption can range from a few picoamperes to several amperes within a few microseconds to seconds. So, how can we accurately measure microampere and nanoampere signals in a closed current loop?
The Keysight DMM6500 six-and-a-half-digit touchscreen digital sampling multimeter can simultaneously provide the necessary low current ranges, resolution, and speed functions for various applications of smart devices or sensors. The DMM6500 uses a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter, offering a current measurement range of 10μA to 10A, making it capable of measuring both sleep current and active current.
1
Measuring Sleep Current
The sleep mode leakage current of the microcontroller (MCU) and other components in low-power portable products may only be a few nanoamperes. The total sleep mode state leakage current of the entire product may be a few microamperes. The DMM6500 can measure 1µA sleep current with a resolution of 10pA.

Measuring Operating Current
The above image shows the DMM6500 capturing multi-level active mode current pulses. The DMM6500 can capture load current in all operational states of the device (including low-power portable IoT devices) at a sampling speed of up to 1 million samples per second, from sleep mode to burst pulses of load current during RF transmission.
