nrf51822 power on sleep mode

[Peter]

Hi everyone: I have some question about nrf51822 power on sleep mode

1. in example ble_app_hrs have a "power_manage" function and it will make the system go into power on sleep mode,but I observed the current it still have 10mA to run ,so it isn't go into power on sleep mode? how can I make the system go into power on sleep mode?
2. I know if the system is in power on sleep mode it can used GPIO or RTC to let it wake up ,so I can use a sensor's interrupt pin to make the system wake up ?

thanks

Hi Peter

1. First of all, take a look at the current consumption guide if you have not already. 10mA is a bit high, but that might be the average current consumption if you have short connection interval and have a lot of data to send over the air. Look in the current consumption guide how to tune the connection parameters for better current consumption. Also, specifically look at the troubleshooting section, if you are still seeing excessive current consumption with a standard example (see the Measure Current Consumption section in the current consumption guide)

2. Yes, you can. You can be in either System On or System Off mode, see the current consumption guide
