&lt;p&gt;Disabling peripherals should be sufficient for them to stop drawing current. There is also discussion on that &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/1316/what-is-the-power-and-clock-model-of-peripheral-in-nrf51/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Also, there are some general recommendations for the UART, SPI, TWI on &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/5186/how-to-minimize-current-consumption-for-ble-application-on-nrf51822/#reply-5187"&gt;this thread&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
