The PDM is consuming more current than specified in the nRF5340 datasheet.

Our setup:

  • Board: nRF5340 DK

  • SDK: NCS v2.6.2

  • Microphone: MMICT5837-00-012

  • Interface: PDM

  • Driver: Nordic DMIC driver

We measured a total PDM current consumption of 2.6 mA in stereo mode. However, according to the nRF5340 datasheet, the PDM peripheral should consume only about 1.25 mA.so current with easyDma?

Why are we seeing this higher current consumption, and how can we reduce it?
