nRF9160 lowest power with RTC running

[Canastra]

Hi

I try to run a nRF9160 on a nRF9160DK with lowest power possible.

A wake up from pin and periodically from RTC is required.

In the  nRF9160_PS_v2.0.pdf is IMCUON1 MCU on IDLE, modem off, RTC on 2.2 μA

When I run nrf_regulators_system_off(NRF_REGULATORS_NS); 

Current is ok 2-3uA

Wake up with PIN works

Wake up from RTC does not work.

When I run __WFI();

Current is not ok 10-12uA

Wake up with PIN works.

How to setup nRF9160 for IMCUON1 MCU on IDLE, modem off, RTC on 2.2 μA

with wake up from PIN and RTC?

Wake up from RTC does not work.

When I run __WFI();

Current is not ok 10-12uA

If you make a very simple main() that only use k_sleep(), then that uses the RTC in the background, so this should be power optimized. What current consumption do you measure then?

I would think that the current consumption problem with "10-12uA" is that you have not configured wakeup on pin correct, you should configure to use "sense" wakeup from lowest power consumption, I suspect you have configured "in event" for wakeup from sleep. Using "in event" will have higher current consumption:

Hi Kenneth

Now I've an working sample to wakeup from pin and rtc.

the current consumption on the dk is 2-3uA.

So every thing is OK

Thanks.

BTW.

It would be helpful if there is a sample in nRF connect SDK for this situation.
