 I am working on nRF52832 dev board. SDK v-15.2. 
 My questions are following: 
 1) How much current consume if we use GPIOTE to register one pin interrupt? 
 2) How much current consume if we use ADC module? 
 3) How much current consume</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 01 Aug 2019 11:18:39 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/50505/general-questions-on-current-consumption" /><item><title>RE: General questions on current consumption</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/201823?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Aug 2019 11:18:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:bd73154d-58fc-4ede-83a3-65e31b1c766f</guid><dc:creator>Stian R&amp;#248;ed Hafskjold</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;1) The GPIOTE IN event consumes about 20 µA. The GPIOTE PORT event which can be used to register one pin interrupt and does not consume any extra current: &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52840/gpiote.html?cp=3_0_0_5_9_1#concept_jyp_21x_lr"&gt;https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52840/gpiote.html?cp=3_0_0_5_9_1#concept_jyp_21x_lr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) The active current of the SAADC is 1.24mA: &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52840/_tmp/graviton/autodita/CURRENT/parameters.i_saadc.html?cp=3_0_0_4_1_0_6"&gt;https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52840/_tmp/graviton/autodita/CURRENT/parameters.i_saadc.html?cp=3_0_0_4_1_0_6&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; The actual current consumption depends on how often you sample and for how long you sample.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) Writing and erasing flash consumes about 3mA to 3.5mA, and how long it takes to write/erase is specified here: &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52840/nvmc.html?cp=3_0_0_3_2_9#unique_797338916"&gt;https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52840/nvmc.html?cp=3_0_0_3_2_9#unique_797338916&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4) SPI and I2C has a run current of 1.2mA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
