NAP MODE
The device can be put in nap mode following the sequences shown in Figure 9. This provides substantial power
saving while operating at lower sampling rates.
While operating the device at throughput rates lower than 3.2 MSPS, A_PWD can be held low (see Figure 9).
In this condition, the device goes into the nap state immediately after BUSY goes low and remains in that state
until the next sampling starts. The minimum acquisition time is 60 nsec more than t
(acq)
as defined in the timing
requirements section.
Alternately, A_PWD can be toggled any time during operation (see Figure 10). This is useful when the system
acquires data at the maximum conversion speed for some period of time (back-to-back conversion) and it does
not acquire data for some time while the acquired data is being processed. During this period, the device can
be put in the nap state to save power. The device remains in the nap state as long as A_PWD is low with BUSY
being low and sampling has not started. The minimum acquisition time for the first sampling after the nap state
is 60 nsec more than t
(acq)
as defined in the timing requirements section.
