Low power

nRF5340 Product Specification

In Event mode (CONFIG.MODE=Event), the register LATENCY makes it possible to reduce power consumption.

To enable the power saving behavior, set register LATENCY to LowPower.

LowPower can be used with both PORT event (EVENTS_PORT) and IN event (EVENTS_IN). The GPIO pins must have their PIN_CNF[n].SENSE configured.

When using LowPower with IN event, the GPIO PIN_CNF[] register's SENSE field needs to be configured according to CONFIG.POLARITY for the selected pin.

When using LowPower with PORT event, the GPIO PIN_CNF[] register's SENSE field can have any value.

CONFIG.POLARITY=Toggle is not supported for LATENCY=LowPower.
