SAADC (ADC) Consuming too much current SDK-15.3

[Ameer Usman]

When I put the code onto the test bench for battery life test it showed a huge amount of current being consumed and it droped when I turned of SAADC (ADC). Why is this that so much current is being consumed and how do I avert this? I am using similar to /example/peripheral/saadc example.

Hoping to hear soon.

What current consumption do you expect, and what do you observe?

Have you enabled the driver's 'low_power_mode'?

[Ameer Usman]

I observe a constant spree of spikes whereas I only turn on sample once every 2 mins.

I enabled Low Power mode but the constant spikes are still there like its constantly sampling.

I need a scope, or at least the average current consumption.
