POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE

Figure 29 shows the power consumption of the device in

normal mode, in which the part is never powered down. By

using the power-down mode of the AD7276/AD7277/AD7278

when not performing a conversion, the average power consump-

tion of the ADC decreases as the throughput rate decreases.

Figure 30 shows that as the throughput rate is reduced, the

device remains in its power-down state longer, and the average

power consumption over time drops accordingly. For example,

if the AD7276/AD7277/AD7278 are operated in continuous

sampling mode with a throughput rate of 200 kSPS and an SCLK

of 48 MHz (VDD = 3 V) and the devices are placed into power-

down mode between conversions, then the power consumption

is calculated as follows. The power dissipation during normal

operation is 12.6 mW (VDD = 3 V). If the power-up time is one

dummy cycle, that is, 333 ns, and the remaining conversion

time is 290 ns, then the AD7276/AD7277/AD7278 can be said

to dissipate 12.6 mW for 623 ns during each conversion cycle. If

the throughput rate is 200 kSPS, then the cycle time is 5 μs and

the average power dissipated during each cycle is 623/5,000 ×

12.6 mW = 1.56 mW. Figure 29 shows the power vs. throughput

rate when using the partial power-down mode between conver-

sions at 3 V. The power-down mode is intended for use with

throughput rates of less than 600 kSPS, because at higher

sampling rates, there is no power saving achieved by using the

power-down mode.
