AFE4404 PWDN mode

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE4404

Hello,

I try to use the PWDN mode of the AFE4404 to save power where HearRate is not needed in my application.

So I pull low the RESET_Z pin to enter PWDN mode and I pull high to go back in normal operation. I observe that I need to reinitialize the AFE4404 to work again. (I send again the value of each register).
 

Is it normal that I have to reinitialise the part ?

Maybe there are just a few registers to configure again and not all registers ?

Thank you,

Sam

  • Hi Sam,

    After the device exits the hardware powerdown mode, the device has to be reinitialized.
    It is also recommended to issue a reset to the device before re-initializing it.

    If you do not wish to re-initialize the device, you could use the software power down mode using the PDNAFE register bit.
    This does not require the device to be re-initialized. However in this mode, the device consumes a quiescent current of about 40uA.

    Refer section 10 for the power supply sequencing, device init and HW/SW PDN timing.
  • Hi,

    I didn't see this section, sorry, so it's good with the software reste. Thank you very much.

    Best Regards
