 I&amp;#39;m currently developing a certain product having limitted power source (about avg. current &amp;lt; 100 uA ). 
 main SoC is nRF52840, and SDK version is nRF5 SDK 17. 
 
 There are no problem in normal cases, but sometimes there is a really &amp;quot;weird phenomena</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 25 Nov 2022 12:45:12 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/94253/it-could-be-possible-nrf52840-soc-is-totally-stopped-when-power-source-is-unstable" /><item><title>RE: It could be possible nRF52840 SoC is totally stopped, when power source is unstable ?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/397648?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 25 Nov 2022 12:45:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:d017399b-9530-4b10-bd1a-270300b23b77</guid><dc:creator>Einar Thorsrud</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Kim,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The nRF itself should not end up in an unrecoverable state due to unstable supply voltage. But if the voltage drops too low, you will get a brown out reset and it should recover.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have you done any debugging to see what state the nRF is in when you write you need to do a hard-reset to recover? What does that tell you? Is it in a loop somewhere, or in sleep waiting for event, or something else?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
