  • Low power extends battery life: Supports 2.0-V to 5.5-V power supplies while consuming only 150 uA typical to extend the battery life of portable, battery-powered industrial devices for temperature measurement, gas monitoring, industrial process control, instrumentation and more.

    unknown title 2011

  • Power consumption ranges from less than 150 uA at 1,600 Hz.bandwidth down to 25 uA under 10 Hz. The device modulates power consumption automatically in proportion to its output data rate and automatically switches to a sleep mode during periods of inactivity.
