Power consumption of 180 uA during low power System on.

[Surya]

when I am waiting for an event the current consumption is becoming ~180uA continuously.

I am waiting for an event using the following function

void deep_sleep(void)
{
__SEV();
__WFE();
__WFE();

}

there are 2 places where I call this function, one causing a continuous current of ~180uA and another is 3 uA.

i wanted to know what are the possible causes for 180 uA of current.

[Surya]

no. configuration is same for example and my application. i tried initialising all modules that I use in my app but still i got 3 uA in example and 6 uA in my app. 

used modules : esb, rng, gpiote

Are you enabling any GPIOTE IN events, or are you only using PORT events? IN events does increase the idle current, unlike having just the PORT event enabled.

I am using GPIOTE Port events

Then I'm not sure what the problem could be. Since you only have 3 modules, can you try to narrow it down by disabling one by one?
