RTOS/CC2640: DEV board power consumption in standby mode

Part Number: CC2640

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi everyone, 

I'm having a problem with the power consumption when using launch pad cc2640r2f chip.

Expected:

When running the “micro-eddystone-beacon” of CC2640R2 Texas Instrument example, I expect to have a 1uA base consumption.

Result:

When monitoring the consumed power with the PPK (power profiler kit PCA63511 of Nordic) we have a base consumption of 220uA (it’s the best we got after tuning the example).

Tried:

We have referred to the following documentations:

                - PowerManagment: www.ti.com/.../sprui20.pdf

                - Measuring BLE Power consumption: www.ti.com/.../swra478c.pdf

From these we have tried the following test

Test 1: Adding these lines to the program, disconnecting all the GPIO + Debugger, commenting out all tasks

/*--------initialization power policy---------*/

Board_initGeneral();

Power_enablePolicy();

Power_setPolicy(PowerCC26XX_standbyPolicy);

/*--------fin initialization power policy-----*/

//force mode standby

Power_sleep(PowerCC26XX_STANDBY);

Result 1: power consumption drops from 5mA to 220 uA

What can I do to have a 1uA base power consumption with the cc2640R2F ?

Thanks in advance!
