Hi All,
Am using Esp Wroom32 and using Deep_Sleep example code. The chip is consuming 10ma. I want the current consumption to be in the uA range.
Please let me know how the current can be reduced further.
Any help is appreciated

Are you using a bare WROOM-32 module or a development board based on this module? A lot of development boards include additional circuits which aren't powered down in deep sleep, and continue drawing current.
There is a nice article with an overview of some of the boards on the market and some fixes which can be done to reduce current consumption: https://blog.voneicken.com/2018/lp-wifi-esp32-boards/

Thanks for your reply. I am using the dev kit and running the deep sleep example code .
I will try with removing the additional components.
