Measurement of current consumption in MCU

I have a Nucleo 64 STM32F303RE, I would like to measure the current consumed by the MCU while running application. How do I do it ?

Check the UM1724 User manual STM32 Nucleo-64 boards. There are schematics at the end. Measure the current at JP6.

Yes thank you,one more thing,

I supposed this can be done with the board supplied by USB?,

In this case , the voltage supplied to MCU will be measured between VDD and ground.

Yes.

I suggest to additionally consult the schematics, to see where you measure, and what.

Hello @HNdal​ ,

You can measure the current consumption on the IDD JP6 jumper.

Best Regards,

Thank you so much, and the voltage accross the MCU would be between VDD and VSS pins?

right.
