 I have the MCU and some components regarding Battery Management. 
 The idea is that since the device will not be used all the time, I want the switch to completely</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 10 Dec 2025 13:28:14 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/126007/power-on-nrf52832-with-a-switch" /><item><title>RE: Power on nRF52832 with a switch</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/556688?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 10 Dec 2025 13:28:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:33ce28dc-2b04-4e84-b219-82605684462a</guid><dc:creator>Asbj&amp;#248;rn</dc:creator><description>&lt;div style="color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"&gt;Hello Dimitra,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"&gt;You circuit would be correct and would be a good way to switch off the nRF52832 from the circuit.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"&gt;Just as a reference as a lot of the circuit you describe is also fulfilled a PMIC for example the nPM1100. &lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/nPM1100"&gt;https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/nPM1100&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"&gt;It will handle the USB, battery and ship mode where the output to the nRF52832 would be off. Might save you some trouble building a board with the discreet solution.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11pt;"&gt;Best regards&lt;/div&gt;
