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 250-ms intervals. Between these intervals, the device is operating 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 these intervals, the device is operating in a reduced power stage to minimize total average current consumption.
- DEEP SLEEP mode: In this mode, the current is reduced slightly 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.
