https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/42521/pwm-without-dma---to-save-currentI am using an RTC to periodically kick off a PWM pulse train. This all works beautifully, but draws far more current than expected. From what I&#39;ve read, this is because the EasyDMA draws over 1mA. I think I know the answer, but want to confirm: can Ien-USTelligent Community 13Tue, 15 Jan 2019 08:55:53 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/165660?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 15 Jan 2019 08:55:53 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:533542f1-e8f8-4610-ba9c-5ece6edc1a6dSimonr<p>Hi&nbsp;<span>Al</span></p> <p><span>My colleague is correct in that you can&#39;t disable the DMA. As long as the PWM-peripheral runs, so does the DMA. You may use the low power DMA library to reduce the current draw significantly, but this will result in a less accurate DMA. Otherwise you will just have to turn off the PWM-peripheral whenever it isn&#39;t used to decrease the current consumption. I am sorry for the bad news.</span></p> <p><span>Best regards,</span></p> <p><span>Simon</span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
