High 4.7 mA power consumption on nrf51, SD110https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/22006/high-4-7-ma-power-consumption-on-nrf51-sd110Hi, during normal operation, my device shows a power consumption of 4.7mA. Normal operation is: accelerometer (lis2dh) detects a shake and wakes up the nrf51 via GPIO toggle nrf51 gets via SPI the incoming accelerometer data nrf51 doesen-USTelligent Community 13Mon, 15 May 2017 09:31:01 GMTRE: High 4.7 mA power consumption on nrf51, SD110https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/86360?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 15 May 2017 09:31:01 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:5e7d3573-8c21-4472-be56-b02e0b0ad68eJ&#248;rgen Holmefjord<p>Hi,</p> <p>This is a normal current draw when the CPU is active. The CPU current draw will depend on your configuration, but <a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.nrf52832.ps.v1.1/cpu.html?cp=2_2_0_6_1#topic">the values are given in the documentation</a>.</p> <p>Are you doing any power management when you are doing this normal operation, to put the device in sleep when possible? 4-5 seconds is a long time to keep the CPU active, and if you have 1000 occurrences of this every day, your battery won&#39;t last long.</p> <p>Could you post some code examplesshowing your operation or upload your project? We might be able to give some pointers on how to decrease the current consumption.</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Jørgen</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
