7.4.2 Low Power Mode
When the LPWRB input pin is set to ground, only the low-power-enabled channels are active. Each channel can
be enabled independently to operate in Low Power Mode through
Register EN (Address 0x0C)
. For a channel
to operate in the Low Power Mode, both the LPEN
n
and EN
n
bits (
n
is the channel index) must be set to 1. The
Low Power Mode allows for energy-saving monitoring of button activity. In this mode, the device is in an inactive
power-saving state for the majority of the time. Lower scan rates correspond to lower current consumption.
In addition, the individual button sampling window should be set to the lowest effective setting (this is system
dependent, but typically 0.8 ms to 1 ms). For the electrical specification of the configurable Low Power Mode
Scan Rate, refer to the
table.
If a channel is operational in both Low Power Mode and Normal Power Mode, TI recommends to toggle the
LPWRB pin only after the button associated with that channel is released.
The Low Power Mode is also applicable for raw data access mode.
7.4.3 Configuration Mode
Before configuring any register settings, the device must be put into the configuration mode first. Setting
CONFIG_MODE = 1 through
Register RESET (Address 0x0A)
stops data conversion and holds the device
in configuration mode. Any device configuration changes can then be made. The current consumption in this
mode is typically 0.3 mA. After all changes have been written, set CONFIG_MODE = 0 for normal operation.
