Hi,
I need an ADC with a resolution of 10 bits. I think leaving the 3 Less Significant Bits output ports disconnected to use the ADS5444-EP. Could you tell me the evolution of its power consumption with the number of exploited output bits?
Regards
Victor
Hi Victor,
The power consumption will be the same, if the lower bits are not used. Keep in mind they will be active and "fluttering" if you MSB justify.
If you only need 10bits, it might prove to be LSB justified and you can contain your fullscale as to not use the upper three bits and they will be less active.
Just a thought.
If you only need to 10bits and can let us know your requirements, maybe we can better guide you into another ADC selection.

Hi Rob,
Thank you for your feedback, it helps me to make a comparison with others ADCs. I was equally wondering how is it working for DAC components.
