When the Mode bit is set to 0b in the configuration register, the device operates in continuous conversion mode. Figure 8-4 shows the device in a continuous conversion cycle. In this mode, the device can perform multiple conversions and updates the temperature result register and Data_Ready_Flag in the alert status register at the end of every active conversion. The typical active conversion time for the device is 6.4 ms with averaging disabled. When averaging is enabled, the device will convert 8 consecutive times at the beginning of every conversion period for a typical time of 51.2 ms.
The Conv_Period[1:0] bits in the configuration register control the rate at which the conversions are performed. The device typically consumes 68 µA during conversion and 0.26 µA during the low power standby period. By decreasing the rate at which the conversions are performed, the application can benefit from reduced average current consumption in continuous mode.
Use Equation 1 to calculate the average current in continuous mode.
