The NRF52 is interfaced with an external module in UART. The NRF52840 is always powered by the battery using the different power mode to save battery.

[quote user=""]Is that a valid solution to&amp;nbsp;reconfigure all the GPIO of the NRF52 in default configuration so they will be in Hi-z before&amp;nbsp;disabling the power of the external module[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;Yes, that is the way to do it. The default state is disconnected input, which is high impedance.&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]Could you confirm that it&amp;#39;s a true high-Z and that we will not have any leakage on the I/O?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;Yes. See &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/44923/more-detailed-specification-of-saadc-input-impedance/178017#178017"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
