https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/7646/gpiote-consumption-too-highHi, My application uses the softdevice 110. Everytime, there is an event on my sensor. The sensor sends the event to my pin, which generates a gpiote interrupt . But, the consumption is too high. We have about 4mA/300&#181;s. Is it normal? If not, how toen-USTelligent Community 13Thu, 18 Jun 2015 09:45:12 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/27253?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 18 Jun 2015 09:45:12 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:a27cb147-1374-4a4c-b5d7-b4110d4fa7dfSusheel Nuguru<p>You can use both PORT event and configure gpiote for EVENTS/TASK, nrf_drv_gpiote.c uses both. if you are only using app_gpiote.c then it should be just the PORT mode,hence it should be less power. Can you readout the config registers of GPIOTE and see if they are having reset values?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/27254?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 16 Jun 2015 15:26:50 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:72655faf-e56d-4186-8645-54bcbdd2fbc2ting&#178;<p>Thank you for your answer. Indeed ,setting the GPIOTE into PORT MODE , the consumption is reduced. But, I also need EVENT/TASK event for another pin. Is it possible to have the both modes ? I used app_gpiote.c to create my gpiote interrupt. I understood that in &quot;app_gpiote&#39; , the port mode is used. So why the consumption is so high? Or did I misunderstand something?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/27252?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 16 Jun 2015 09:29:16 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:5f6b3b19-af9e-4ef2-957d-fd89bbcfb95eSusheel Nuguru<p>Try this below thread. <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/2471/gpio-wakeup-low-power-workarounds/">devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../</a></p> <p>If you search this forum for gpiote current you will find much needed info <a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/questions/sort:relevance-desc/query:gpiote%20current/">devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
