Target Current Measurement

Power to the PIC16F15376 is connected from the on-board power supply and VTG pin through a 100-mil pin header
cut Target Power strap marked with "POWER" in silkscreen (J101). To measure the power consumption of the
PIC16F15376 and other peripherals connected to the board, cut the Target Power strap and connect an ammeter
over the strap.

Tip: A 100-mil pin header can be soldered into the Target Power strap (J101) footprint for easy
connection of an ammeter. Once the ammeter is not needed anymore, place a jumper-cap on the pin
header.
