 I&amp;#39;ve heard some stories that that using analog capable pins for digital IO (UART in our case) results in significantly higher power consumption than using a pin that only supports digital IO.

There might be some capacitance on the analog capable IO pins, which could give a bigger frequency dependent current consumption.&amp;nbsp;This is specified if you use the NFC pins as GPIOs, so it could be similar for the analog capable GPIO pins on the nrf52.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
