nrf52832 timer

sreehari410

I am using the nrf52832 soc, and have a requirement to run the device in low power mode and using the timer with a timeout value in days? how can I do so?

Sample code would be of great help.

    The RTC will easily accommodate this and is the preferred method of handling sleep/wake cycles of the cpu since it is the lowest power clock. Since the RTC has a 12 bit prescaler and 24 bit counters with one compare event you can run it for 2^24/(32768/2^12) eighth second intervals or about 24 days before it overflows. The ISR from the RTC event will wake the processor up after you put it in low power mode.
