Power consumprtion issue when BLE Becon example code uploaded

[akhilpuranik]

Hi 

I have a programmed the  nrf52832 custom design board(not the Development Kit)  with Ble Becon example code given with SDK and checked the power consumption. It consumes 2.4mA .
I tried changing the advertising time interval to 2000ms , 4000ms and 8000ms one after the other and checked the power consumption. The power consumed is same 1.9 to 2.4mA.

I would like to know if that power consumer is bare minimum for nrf52832 to run? plus I see that the power consumption   of 52832 is supposed to be in micro Amps while Bluetooth is not turned or not publishing data via bluetooth.
any answer regarding how to achieve lower power consumption (less than 1mA) is appreciated.




Thank you

Hi

I would suggest checking out this power optimization guide by one of my co-workers available here. sipan112 also has good suggestions to reduce current consumption.

Best regards,
