Preliminary Technical Data
AD7357
Once a data transfer is complete and SDATAA and SDATAB have
returned to three-state, another conversion can be initiated after

PARTIAL POWER-DOWN MODE
This mode is intended for use in applications where slower
throughput rates are required. Either the ADC is powered down
between each conversion, or a series of conversions may be
performed at a high throughput rate and the ADC is then
powered down for a relatively long duration between these
bursts of several conversions. When the AD7357 is in partial
power-down, all analog circuitry is powered down except for
the on-chip reference and reference buffers.

These modes of operation are designed to provide flexible
power management options. These options can be chosen to
optimize the power dissipation/throughput rate ratio for the
differing application requirements.
