Power Consmuption issue in nrf51 during advertising packets

[Brajesh]

Hi All,

My goal is to advertise the generic packets untill a GPIO interrupt occurs. So in order to achieve low power consumption I have increased the time interval of those packets being advertised from 40ms to 3 seconds. While scanning i am able to see the packets in every 3 sec, but as intended i don't see any reduction in power consumption. With both the intervals, it consumes same 10mA. Am i missing something on this, please suggest.

Any suggestion would be well appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks Hung Bui for response. I am using Softdevice_6.0.0 and SDK-5.2.0.39364. I have made some modifications now to reduce power consumption. I'm running a timer which wakes up system from sleep mode in every 15 seconds and start advertising for 5 seconds(TIMEOUT). Now the cosmuption has reduced to 4mA and 5mA (while advertising for 5 seconds). And after connection it consmumes 9mA continuously. does it sound alright to you or still this is high than expected ?
