[78] TIMER: High current consumption when using timer STOP task only

This anomaly applies to IC Rev. Engineering B, build codes QIAA-BA0, QIAA-BB0, CKAA-AA0.

It was inherited from the previous IC revision Engineering A nRF52840.

Symptoms

Increased current consumption when the timer has been running and the STOP task is used to stop it.

Conditions

The timer has been running (after triggering a START task) and then it is stopped using a STOP task only.

Consequences

Increased current consumption.

Workaround

Use the SHUTDOWN task after the STOP task or instead of the STOP task.
