ADS8344/8345 lowpower mode

Jun 08, 2007 0 Replies

Hi,



Has anyone got the auto-power-down thing working on ADS8344/8345 through SPI (software)? My ADC is sourced at 5V and am communicating with it with a MSP430F1611. When I set it through software, current goes down, but never < 3uA as specified by spec sheet. It stays around



400uA in "low-power".

Any help/pointers would be great. Thanks.



JB (P.S. Does the SHDN* work also?)
