https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/14081/adc-power-usageHi, At command, I&#39;m sampling ADC for a short period of time. What I noticed is that the current consumption of the chip goes up 2mA, even after the sampling is stopped (also explicitly with NRF_ADC-&gt;TASKS_STOP = 1). I tried adding a NRF_ADC-&gt;ENABLEen-USTelligent Community 13Thu, 02 Jun 2016 07:08:48 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/53828?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 02 Jun 2016 07:08:48 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:52b719b1-e1b4-4af8-9a23-78eef8fdd985bart<p>Well basically with <code>err_code = sd_nvic_EnableIRQ(ADC_IRQn);</code> and defining <code>ADC_IRQHandler</code>, like in most examples (like <a href="https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/nrf51-ADC-examples/blob/master/adc-example-with-softdevice/main.c">here</a>).</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/53827?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 01 Jun 2016 18:20:48 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:985e3f48-16fa-4cb2-935f-843321d6cd7bOliviertl<p>Hi Bart, how did you enabled interrupt?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/53826?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 27 May 2016 11:27:17 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:094df313-fe50-4a8e-a9ac-cfa1dfe0c020bart<p>It seems like enabling the interrupt is what fixes this, I don&#39;t really understand why it would consume more current without using interrupt though.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
