To power ON & OFF sysem using single button in nrf52810

hello everyone,

         I am designing a device which is operated with coin cell battery, I want to turn on & turn off a device using single button. when device in on mode it should read the sensor data and send to mobile over BLE. if I turn off device I don't want to perform any task and it should be completely in off mode and power consumption should be in few nano amps.

Please help me to perform this task.

thank you

  • Hello,

    ''in system on case, power consumption is taking 1mA after using gpiote pin interrupt, but my requirement is power consumption should less than 100uA. '' - If the nRF52 is drawing 1mA current then it is not in System OFF mode. It should be closer to 1uA. 

    Do you have infinite loop after entering system off mode in the code? that could trigger to make system on again. You can look from this point of view, and also if you want can post your code here. I can make the case private. 

    Thanks.

  • Hi,

    in my project i used saadc, light sensor, temperature sensor, inbult temperature sensor and BLE .

    for every 30 sec i need to push sensor data to mobile app over ble, here button is used to turn on and turn off the device. for button interface i used gpiote is used. after using gpiote, power consumption is 1mA. if i remove gpiote it consume below 500ua. i enable all the sensors at that interval and update and disable.

    i have attached the code below

  • Hello,

    Sorry for the late reply. 

    You got 500uA without the GPIOTE and 1 mA with GPIOTE. That is very high. The GPIOTE will draw approximately 20 uA when IN events are enabled and if port event is used it is nothing. 

    Can you please measure the current after commenting out the code related to ADC?

  • Hi, I achieved the low power expected at 15uA.

    thank you
