 Our company offers product with and without Bluetooth. The nRF52810 chip will always be present on the hardware, it will just be programmed to either have the radio active or put into constant OFF mode.

&lt;p&gt;When the nRF52 chips aren&amp;#39;t programmed the CPU will be running from RAM, which sets all pins in a reset state. I measured a blank DK just to make sure, and the current consumption on an empty nRF52 chip seems to be ~4.5mA. I suggest you make a tiny program that just calls SYSTEMOFF to minimize the current consumption.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
