This device supports four modes, but the current consumption varies, based on firmware control of certain functions and modes of operation:
- NORMAL mode: In this mode, the device performs
measurements, calculations, protections, and data updates every 250ms intervals.
Between intervals, device operates in a reduced power stage to minimize total
average current consumption.
- SLEEP mode: In this mode, the device performs
measurements, calculations, and data updates in adjustable time intervals.
Between intervals, the device operates in a reduced power stage to minimize
total average current consumption.
- DEEP SLEEP mode: In this mode, the current is slightly reduced while current and
voltage are still measured periodically, with a user-defined time between
reads.
- OFF mode: The device is completely disabled by pulling CE low. CE disables the internal voltage rail. All non-volatile memory is unprotected.
