CC2642R: Forcing CC2642R standby mode by the application

I suppose you are running BLE application and you can use simple_peripheral, which enable POWER_SAVING and would go to standby mode when there is nothing to handle. Your application can setup periodic event to handle its tasks and the device would go back sleeping automatically after exiting the event.

I use the BLE of the CC2642R about 1% of the time - only for maintenance. Most of the time it is not connected to other BLE devices. It manages other peripherals and doing calculations. It is required to receive data from other components through UART -> do some calculations and switch to stand by mode for a specific period of time. After that period of time it should switch to active -> do the calculation again and go back to stand by. I can use an external peripheral to wake it from stand by using GPIO but can I periodically switch to stand by upon application request (after finishing the calculation) and from stand by to active upon internal timer?

Yes, you can create a periodic event to wakeup CC2642R from standby.

Thank you for the information. If I can create an internal event to wakeup CC2642R from standby (for example using a timer), Can I also create an internal event to enter into standby from active mode (under the required policy and requirements)?
