 I am a beginner to the nRF series and I had the following question. 
 
 For a battery powered system, is it better to run the nRF52840 at a lower voltage such as 1.8 instead of 3.3V? 
 Are there any drawbacks to running at a lower voltage</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 11 Feb 2019 12:32:14 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/43508/nrf52840-power-consumption" /><item><title>RE: nRF52840 power consumption</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/170343?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Feb 2019 12:32:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:6e424ac9-b07a-48ba-99a6-18204ef1151e</guid><dc:creator>Kenneth</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;You may play around with different settings here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/power/"&gt;https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/power/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Typically connecting VDD directly to the battery and enable the DCDC regulator is the most power efficient.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
