System OFF mode(0.3uA) in nrf52832

Hello everyone,

I trying my nrf52832 getting ultra low power current conception mode using System OFF mode(0.3uA). I using SDK 15.2 ble_app_beacon example I change 32KHZ internal RC configuration this link and sd_power_system_off();  this command for low power conception but my module(PCA10040) take 5mA current for advertising. I need get ultra low power conception for sleep and advertising both side please share any example code or refer link to achieve this concept.

DK:PCA10040

SDK:15.2

  • Hi

    Most of our examples provide a function to properly use the sd_power_system_off() function. Please take a look at I.E. the "\nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_hrs" example and the sleep_mode_enter() function that's used there. Please note that you won't be able to advertise while in SYSTEM OFF mode. Using a timer to wake the device up from SYSTEM OFF mode won't be possible either. You'll have to wake it with a button press, or by setting a GPIO high, as the device will not have any peripherals enabled when in this mode.

    To measure current accurately I suggest taking a look at the Power Profiler Kit, which you can use with the Dev. kit and the nRFConnect app for Desktop.

    Best regards,

    Simon
