Low Power Consumption nRF8001

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!

  • Thanks for the recommendation, however, I will not be able to use a newer device yet. 

    I used the nRFgo studio for the average current consumption, and theoretically I should be getting  ~133uA in average.

    However, when I tested it, I got about ~230uA in average. Yes, I have observed that nRF8001 draws less than 500nA while in deep sleep. My concern is that there is a high peak during advertising which peaks ~6mA. And also, there are instances where I do not see the peak, but I do not understand why.

    Actual Current Consumption

    Would you have any recommendation to further lower down the current consumption? Thanks!
