Looking at some example code in nRF5SDK153059ac345/nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345/components/app_simple_timer.c, there are routines to init, start, stop (pause) and to uninitialize. Given a task to assure that a Nordic chip goes into lower or lowest possible power mode, we'll first examine the 'stop' and 'uninit' routines in this Nordic demo code.

The routine uint32_t app_simple_timer_stop(void) is a wrapper to nrf_drv_timer_pause(). Going through reverse engineering steps this routine is first defined via a macro:

  ./integration/nrfx/legacy/nrf_drv_timer.h:82:#define nrf_drv_timer_pause          nrfx_timer_pause
