The user operates the device by setting up the device
configuration
(see
read command (see
The device operates in two modes: (a) Continuous
Conversion Mode or (b) One-Shot Conversion Mode
(single conversion). This mode selection is made by
setting the O/C bit in the Configuration Register. Refer
to Section 5.2 “Configuration Register” for more
information.
5.1.1
The device performs a Continuous Conversion if the O/
C bit is set to logic “high”. Once the conversion is
completed, RDY bit is toggled to ‘0’ and the result is
placed at the output data register. The device
immediately begins another conversion and overwrites
the output data register with the most recent result. The
device clears the data ready flag (RDY bit = 0) when
the conversion is completed. The device sets the ready
flag bit (RDY bit = 1), if the latest conversion result has
been read by the Master.

5.1.2
Once the One-Shot Conversion Mode (single conver-
sion) is selected, the device performs only one
conversion, updates the output data register, clears the
data ready flag (RDY = 0), and then enters a low power
standby mode. A new One-Shot Conversion is started
again when the device receives a new write command
with RDY = 1.

• When reading conversion data:
This
recommended for low power operating applications
where the conversion result is needed by request on
demand. During the low current standby mode, the
device consumes less than 1 µA maximum (or 300 nA
typical). For example, if the user collects 18 bit
conversion data once a second in One-Shot
Conversion mode, the device draws only about one
fourth of its total operating current. In this example, the
device consumes approximately 36 µA (135 µA /
3.75 SPS = 36 µA), if the device performs only one
conversion per second (1 SPS) in 18-bit conversion
mode with 3V power supply.
