Nrf51822 consumes more than 1 mA, How can we reduce it?

[Javier Fernandez Bernabe]

My code is in the link attached:

github.com/.../master

With that code we have a current measurement of 1.1mA. As you can see in the code, we have tried to disable all the peripherals in the function: disable_peripherals(), and configure Advertising with the next parameters:

TX power: +4dBm adv interval: 1200ms payload: 13 bytes

But we still have: Average current consumption: 1,1 mA

We have seen here: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

An example from Nordic:

Advertising 2: TX power: +4dBm adv interval: 1200ms payload: 10 bytes application processing: 2ms each adv interval. Average current consumption: 33,4 uA

How can we obtain a similar value of current? What are we doing wrong?

I also would like to ask what is "aplication processing: 2ms", how do we know that parameter in our system?

You've used "search" field on this forum before you've asked, haven't you? Found this Q&A (yes, that one with the most up votes on this forum), read it, applied all the hints?

Like endnode mentioned, I would look at the Q&A he posted above first. Also consider looking at the blogs, tutorials and resources tabs at the top. A lot of valuable information there. Also, if you are new to devzone, look at the tour link at the top to get a quick intro to how it works. Hope that helps!

Sure, I have read and searched in the forum lot of questions, and of course the one with lot of votes. I have applied all the hints and still nothing nothing under 1mA.

Are you certain that you are not in debug mode? See this devzone question for more info. Hope that helps!
