NRF52 Capacitive Button Interrupt and Power Consumption

NRF52 Capacitive Button Interrupt and Power Consumptionhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/74756/nrf52-capacitive-button-interrupt-and-power-consumptionHello, I am working an a product based on the NRF52832 and I need to trigger an interrupt when a capacitive button is pressed / proximity detected (BLE is peripheral and it is advertising). I need the extra current used by the capacitive touch controlleren-USTelligent Community 13Wed, 05 May 2021 14:07:29 GMTRE: NRF52 Capacitive Button Interrupt and Power Consumptionhttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/308383?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 05 May 2021 14:07:29 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:11aceaa1-3a52-4f43-b660-fc4773d69e56Jared<p>Hi,</p> <p>If you use the <a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/lib_csense.html?cp=7_1_3_8">capacitive sensing library</a> then you can expect a significant increase in current consumption as it uses the Timer and COMP peripherals, where the former uses the HFCLK. You can try flashing your devkit with <a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/lib_csense_example.html?cp=7_1_4_6_5">capacitive sensor example</a> and measure the current it uses.</p> <p>regards</p> <p>Jared</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
