Low Power Consumption nRF8001

[jamilaaria]

Hi guys,

Do you have any suggestions on how I can lower the power consumption. I am currently connecting - sending data - disconnecting.

I have the following set the parameters as: Min/Max Interval = 15/15, Slave Latency = 0, Timeout = 3000 ms.

Thanks!

The nRF8001 should draw less than 500nA while in deep sleep. Please check the state of the input pins in this case, i.e. make sure they are not asserted by the application mcu.

You can calculate the theoretical power consumption using the power consumption calculator in nRFgo studio.

Please also note that the nRF8001 is an old device, so it is recommended that you use a newer device such as the nRF52 series.
