Extended sleep mode current consumption

Hello

I am working on extended sleep mode in social distancing tag project.

datasheet the current consumption is given as 7 to 14uA.

In our custom board the current consumption in extended sleep mode is around 50uA to 150uA and the current keeps on varying always from 50uA to 150uA. The device is waking up only in key wakeup controller whenever intrrupt occurs in gpio.

Is there any way to still reduce the current in extended sleep mode. Extended sleep mode current consumption depends on size of ram retention . The size of code after compilation is

Please let me know any method to still reduce the current consumption and why the current consumption in extended sleep mode is varying from 50uA to 150uA

Thank you

Hi jagath52,

Hi jagath52,

My apologies for the late response but probably I missed this thread. So, are you using the SDT as provided by Dialog in your custom board? Have you done any modification in the source code? Do you mean the average power consumption is at 50uA - 150uA? Additionally, are you using the Power Profiler of the SmartSnippets Toolbox in order to measure the sleep currents?

Thanks, PM_Dialog
