nrf52833 standby current reaches 60uA

First, NRF52833 work environment at 100 degrees celsius, standby current reaches 60uA.

Second, When the NRF52833 working in 100 degrees Celsius, what kind of processing software or hardware needs to be done.

Third, When the NRF52833 dormant, how to shielding the red signal in the frame? As is shown.

  • Hi Justin

    First, NRF52833 work environment at 100 degrees celsius, standby current reaches 60uA.

    See Electrical Specifications on Sleep for expected current consumption based on temperature.
    What is your standby current in room temperature?

    Second, When the NRF52833 working in 100 degrees Celsius, what kind of processing software or hardware needs to be done.

    As far as I know, no special hardware or software is needed for operating the nRF52840 in 100 degrees.

    Third, When the NRF52833 dormant, how to shielding the red signal in the frame?

    I do not think I understand what you mean by "shielding". Can you say question in another way?

  • First, about 2uA standby current in room temperature.

    Second, I'm using the nRF52833, can you tell me is the difference between nRF52833 and nRF52840 in 100 degrees Celsius environment?

    Third, Change the way, why there will be a current pulse in this picture when standby?About 16 hz frequency and frequency varies with the change of environmental temperature changes.

    2uA standby in room temperature seems to be normal for idle current, see our online power profiler.
    60uA is higher than I expect.

    Check your other components for 100 degrees celcius. Maybe the other components are the reason for the current consumption?

    Sorry, I typed a wrong number.

    The spikes is explained in this post. They are because of refresh mode.

  • Hi Sigurd Hellesvik,

    I found that in 100 degrees Celsius environment faster refresh mode frequency, leading to reach 60 ua standby current.

    Tests found that under the room tempreature of the refresh rate about 16 hz, 100 degrees Celsius environment about 120 hz refresh rate.

    In 100 degrees Celsius environment, refresh model of half cycle of about 100 ua peak current, the second half of the cycle of current about 15 ua, so the average current of about 60 ua.

    I think close to refresh the model to solve the problem, but I don't know how to close the refresh mode.(nRF52833 is working in dc-dc mode.)

    Regards

    Justin

  • From the spec:

     "Auto-controlled refresh modes for LDO and DC/DC regulators to maximize efficiency"

    You are not able to control the refresh modes, as they are automatically controlled by the chip.

    However, you could try to change from DC/DC mode to LDO mode,  and see if you like this consumption better?
