SNIS233A February 2024 – July 2024 TMP110
PRODUCTION DATA
When the Shutdown bit is set to 0b in the configuration register, the device operates in continuous conversion mode. Figure 7-5 shows the device in a continuous conversion cycle. In this mode, the device performs conversion at fixed intervals and updates the temperature result register, ALERT pin and flag at the end of every conversion. The typical active conversion time is around 10ms.
The Conversion_Rate[1:0] bits in the configuration register controls the rate at which the conversions are performed. The device typically consumes 55µA during conversion and 2.6µA during the low power standby period. By decreasing the rate at which the conversion 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.
