POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE
By using the power-down mode on the AD7940 when not
converting, the average power consumption of the ADC
decreases at lower throughput rates. Figure 19 shows how as the
throughput rate is reduced, the part remains in its shutdown
state longer, and the average power consumption over time
drops accordingly.
For example, if the AD7940 is operated in a continuous sam-
pling mode, with a throughput rate of 10 kSPS and an SCLK of
2.5 MHz (V
mode between conversions, the power consumption is calcu-
lated as follows. The maximum power dissipation during nor-
mal operation is 6.84 mW (V
from power-down is 1 µs, and the remaining conversion time is
6.4 µs, (using a 16 SCLK transfer), then the AD7940 can be said
to dissipate 6.84 mW for 7.4 µs during each conversion cycle.
With a throughput rate of 10 kSPS, the cycle time is 100 µs. For
the remainder of the conversion cycle, 92.6 µs, the part remains
in power-down mode. The AD7940 can be said to dissipate
1.08 µW for the remaining 92.6 µs of the conversion cycle.
Therefore, with a throughput rate of 10 kSPS, the average power
dissipated during each cycle is
(7.4/100) × (6.84 mW) + (92.6/100) × (1.08 µW) = 0.51 mW

rate when using the power-down mode with 3.6 V supplies and
