&lt;p&gt;We will try it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Need to set up NRF51822 to low power mode each 2 seconds.</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/46647?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Mar 2016 12:04:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:c09caa09-7fdf-4f7d-9e12-9e6f87a47d35</guid><dc:creator>H&amp;#229;kon Alseth</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since you need to wake up every two seconds, I would recommend using the app_timer module with a repeated instance. Most of our BLE examples (if not all) use the app_timer module, so it should be straight forward to add a new instance.
The app_timer module uses the RTC peripheral, which provides low consumption in sleep.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To enter sleep, you can use the softdevice call &amp;quot;sd_app_evt_wait()&amp;quot; function.
Between the intervals, the consumption shall then around 2-3 uA, given that no other high-speed peripherals are running (TIMERx, UART, TWI, or similar).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers,
Håkon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
