Power and clock management
Power and clock management in nRF52832 is optimized for ultra-low power applications.
The core of the power and clock management system is the Power Management Unit (PMU) illustrated in
Figure 12: Power Management Unit on page 76.
Figure 12: Power Management Unit
The user application is not required to actively control power and clock, since the PMU is able to
automatically detect which resources are required by the different components in the system at any given
time. The PMU will continuously optimize the system based on this information to achieve the lowest power
consumption possible without user interaction.
17.1 Current consumption scenarios
As the system is being constantly tuned by the PMU, estimating the energy consumption of an application
can be challenging if the designer is not able to do measurements on the hardware directly. See Electrical
specification on page 76 for application scenarios showing average current drawn from the VDD supply.
Each scenario specifies a set of active operations and conditions applying to the given scenario. Table 22:
Current consumption scenarios, common conditions on page 76 shows the conditions used for a scenario
unless otherwise is stated in the scenario description.
