AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A
POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE
By using the power-down mode on the AD7476A/AD7477A/
AD7478A when not converting, the average power consump-
tion of the ADC decreases at lower throughput rates. Figure 23
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 AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A operate in a
continuous sampling mode with a throughput rate of 100 kSPS
and an SCLK of 20 MHz (V
in the power-down mode between conversions, the power
consumption is calculated as follows:
The power dissipation during normal operation is 17.5 mW
(V
1 μs, and the remaining conversion time is another cycle, that is,
1 μs, then the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A dissipate 17.5 mW
for 2 μs during each conversion cycle.
If the throughput rate is 100 kSPS, the cycle time is 10 μs, then
the average power dissipated during each cycle is (2/10) ×
(17.5 mW) = 3.5 mW.

If V
power-down mode between conversions, then the power
dissipation during normal operation is 5.1 mW. Thus, the
AD7576A/AD7477A/AD8478A dissipate 5.1 mW for 2 μs
during each conversion cycle. With a throughput rate of
100 kSPS, the average power dissipated during each cycle is
(2/10) × (5.1 mW) = 1.02 mW.
Figure 23 shows the power vs. the throughput rate when using
the power-down mode between conversions with both 5 V and
3 V supplies. The power-down mode is intended for use with
throughput rates of approximately 333 kSPS or less, because at
higher sampling rates, the power-down mode produces no
power savings.
