Timer shutdown deprecated

[jsleeman]

Hello everyone,

I'm using the nRF52832, i would like to shutdown the timers, so i can enter the low power mode. In the datasheet tasks_shutdown for the timer modules is deprecated. Is there another way to shutdown the timer?

Thanks, James

Hi James,

Stopping the timer should be enough, but due to an errata this does not reduce the current consumption and you also need to trigger the SHUTDOWN task, see here. The SHUTDOWN task should not be necessary to trigger, hence it is deprecated, but because of this errata it is actually necessary to trigger it.

I hope I did not confuse you,
Ole
