What does NRF_TIMER0->TASKS_SHUTDOWN do?

[Tim]

The NRF_TIMER's have a TASKS_SHUTDOWN register that isn't mentioned in the documentation anywhere. What does it do?

Hi Tim,

That specific task will shutdown the module. This will effectively reset the peripheral, and a full re-init of the peripheral is required the next time you use it. Such a task is useful if you want to go to sleep w/o having the timer running in the background (timer will require 16M, which again gives you a higher sleep current in SYSTEMON mode)

It seems that this is not mentioned in the documentation, which is a flaw from our side. I will input this in our bug register.

Best regards Håkon
