7.2.3 Low Power Operation

It may be desirable to operate the LDC0851 on battery power and take samples at a very low sample rate, such as portable sensor devices or intruder detection systems. By using a nanotimer (ultra low power timer) such as the TPL5110 or a microcontroller such as the MSP430F5500 it is possible to duty cycle the EN pin of the LDC0851 as shown in the application schematic in Figure 7-6.
