After upload firmware high current in Sleep Mode

[ricardo vasquez rossi]

Hi all

I have a custom Board, I have tested it a lot. NRF51822, programed with Mbed..

In general the Software and Board WORKS FINE, but I found some problem in my procedure of upload the firmware to the board.

1.- Conect the battery to the custom board.

2.- connect the firmware cable to board

3.- Upload the firmware.

with it procedure in the sleep mode the board consuption 1.2 mA, the board works fine,  sends the advertising, going to sleep, the button and led works fine. only fail the Consuption en Sleep mode.

I realized if I unplug the battery and connect again the current in sleep mode works fine 4uA.

.my question Is.

Is it a normal behaviour?

do you have some little program (if it is in  Keil, IAR, or other it is fine) to do resetting the chip when it start for first time and store some data in non volatile memory to know if the chip was resetting?

Thanks In Advance.

Hi,

So if I understand you correctly, when you program your board, it works fine but the sleep current is high. And after a reset, the sleep current is back to normal again. Then as far as I know, it's completely fine.

When you program the NRF51822, it goes in debug mode, where the current will be a little high. It will come out of debug mode only after a reset. After the reset, the NRF won't be in the debug mode, and thus you will have lower power consumption.
