 I am looking at the nRF51822 and was wondering if I have the input buffer disconnected, is there a difference in current consumption for that pin if it is not connected vs. connected to ground ?

&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;span&gt;input buffer disconnected&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot; is the default configuration for all pins after reset. If you leave some pins&amp;nbsp;floating with default configuration, there will be no difference in power consumption. But there is a good practice to ground unused pins to improve ESD protection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
