Difference between System ON sleep mode and System OFF sleep mode

Hi Everyone,

I am confused in sleep modes of nrf52832.
Can you please tell me the difference between System ON sleep mode and System OFF sleep mode?

also the current consumption in both mode.

  • Can you please link to where you find the Active mode current numbers? 

    Yes, System ON is a sleep mode, with two sub modes constant latency and low power. When  System ON is enabled, only the LF-clock is running while sub mode constant latency will provide a higher current draw with more clocks running (not suitable for battery powered applications). System OFF will provide deep-sleep with no clock sources.

    Kind regards,
    Øyvind
