AD7328
POWER VS. THROUGHPUT RATE
The power consumption of the AD7328 varies with throughput
rate. The static power consumed by the AD7328 is very low, and
significant power savings can be achieved as the throughput
rate is reduced. Figure 51 and Figure 52 shows the power vs.
throughput rate for the AD7328 at a V
CC
of 3 V and 5 V, respect-
tively. Both plots clearly show that the average power consumed
by the AD7328 is greatly reduced as the sample frequency is
reduced. This is true whether a fixed SCLK value is used or if it
is scaled with the sampling frequency. Figure 51 and Figure 52
show the power consumption when operating in normal mode
for a fixed 20 MHz SCLK and a variable SCLK that scales with
the sampling frequency.
