Idle mode between advertisements

[Radu B.]

Hello,

I am using nrf51822 with softdevice 110.

I have noticed that there is some power usage between advertisements, that is more than what is being used when no advertising is active. It looks like this: http://imgur.com/n1ttnna

Since I expect no connection between advertisements ( 850ms apart), is there a way to make the system go to idle mode between them ? It would seem this would improve power usage quite a lot.

Just to conclude this particular thread, the power usage was indeed caused by the RTC. The jitter between the advertisements were actually RTC ticks.
