 I&amp;#39;m trying to achieve the system OFF current consumption on the nRF52-DK which is stated in the datasheet as 0.3uA with no RAM retention.

&lt;p&gt;Can you try to configure the PPK2 in source mode and then set the output power to 2V7 and see what you measure?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is what I measure with a unmodified system off sample and powering the board with 2V7.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/pastedimage1697459015606v1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that powering with more than 2V7 at the external supply header will cause the nRF52 to be at a higher voltage potential then the rest of the board, resulting in extra current flowing from the nRF52 to the rest of the devkit. Therefore use 2V7,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;regards&lt;/p&gt;
