Low Power Mode using app uart example

Hello ,

I on the DK nRF52840, I wanted to manage the sleep mode and measure the current consumed by the microcontroller.

I started with example uart, I cut the PCB track courting solder bridge SB40 and I soldered a 10 Ω resistor .

the current measured with oscilloscope 0.216A (
I measure the voltage between the resistance and i divide by 10 ).
, and once the microcontroller goes to sleep, I measure 0.241A, which means that the microphone does not go into sleep mode . can you help me please .
why it doesn't go to sleep ?

Best regards,
