The MAX146/MAX147 auto power-down modes can
save considerable power when operating at less than
maximum sample rates. Figures 13, 14a, and 14b show
the average supply current as a function of the sam-
pling rate. The following discussion illustrates the vari-
ous power-down sequences.
The following examples show two different power-down
sequences. Other combinations of clock rates, compen-
sation modes, and power-down modes may give lowest
power consumption in other applications.

Figure 14a depicts the MAX146 power consumption for
one or eight channel conversions utilizing full power-
down mode and internal-reference compensation. A
0.047µF bypass capacitor at REFADJ forms an RC filter
with the internal 20kΩ reference resistor with a 0.9ms
time constant. To achieve full 12-bit accuracy, 10 time
constants or 9ms are required after power-up. Waiting
this 9ms in FASTPD mode instead of in full power-up
can reduce power consumption by a factor of 10 or
more. This is achieved by using the sequence shown in
Figure 15.
