nRF52840 - Cannot achieve low power saadchttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/82818/nrf52840---cannot-achieve-low-power-saadcHi everyone, I experiment with the saadc low power example . I have followed all the settings but I cannot achieve as low power as the example. As you can see from the PPK II capture, during sampling the current is around 3.6mA and this raises the averageen-USTelligent Community 13Fri, 17 Dec 2021 10:11:15 GMTRE: nRF52840 - Cannot achieve low power saadchttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/344115?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 17 Dec 2021 10:11:15 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:9bbda027-8c25-4d8b-8fec-2a80faaa4ddeJared<p>Yes, 3.8 mA peaks is within acceptable range.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: nRF52840 - Cannot achieve low power saadchttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/343975?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 16 Dec 2021 15:13:14 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:ceb5209d-71ec-40dd-9df0-2e1dde15eb96Nikosant03<p>Sry I wan meaning 3.8mA.

During my last measurements I didn&#39;t turn on SW10 (VEXT-&gt;nrRF) on nRF52840. Now I measure around 5.3uA.</p> <p><img src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/pastedimage1639660512718v1.png" alt=" " /></p> <p>Is there any way to reduce these 3.8uA peaks during sampling?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
