I use SDK version 15.2. I had some previous issues with sleep currents as seen here , but I resolved them.

I should first disable all my GPIO before sleep/advertising. While the board is in &amp;quot;data sending mode&amp;quot;, the GPIOs are properly enabled/disabled. But it looks like when I go to advertising or sleep, I forgot to fully disable them again. Good catch!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Inconsistent sleep current draw (60uA - 140uA, should be ~2.5uA) on custom external board, nRF52810-CAAA</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/283606?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 07 Dec 2020 14:53:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:4c458eb6-4c0f-4573-b26a-4ab4ebb3cc4b</guid><dc:creator>J&amp;#248;rgen Holmefjord</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From the current range, it could sound like a floating GPIO pulling current through a pull resistor, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you have any external pull resistors connected to any GPIOs?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do I understand you correctly that the current goes away when reading the sensors? Which sensors is this? Do you uninitialize the sensors when disconnecting?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you could post the output from the GPIO registers along with a schematic of the board, this may help with figuring out what is causing the current draw.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;Jørgen&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
