 I am trying to figure out the best way to save power on the nrf52. I need to connect with ble about two times per day. The ble should &amp;#39;woken up&amp;#39; by an accelerator (probably ADXL362), connect, send a small packet, and then go back to sleep.

&lt;p&gt;This is a documentation bug. The correct value for &lt;em&gt;System OFF, No RAM retention, Wake on GPIO&lt;/em&gt; is &lt;strong&gt;0.3 μA&lt;/strong&gt;. i.e. the same value as &lt;em&gt;System OFF, No RAM retention, Wake on reset&lt;/em&gt;. In order to save as much power as possible &lt;em&gt;System OFF with NO RAM retention&lt;/em&gt; mode is recommended.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can configure a pin to wake up the chip from SYSTEM OFF like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;nrf_gpio_cfg_sense_input(YOUR_PIN_NUMBER, NRF_GPIO_PIN_PULLUP, NRF_GPIO_PIN_SENSE_LOW);
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Use the function &lt;code&gt;sd_power_system_off()&lt;/code&gt; to go to SYSTEM OFF mode.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When the pin goes low, it will generate a signal that will wake up the chip. You can read more about System OFF mode &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.nrf52832.ps.v1.1/power.html?cp=2_2_0_17_1#unique_863354678"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
