Keep the analog supply voltage (AVDD) as close as possible to the analog input signal to the device. Set AVDD to be greater than or equal to the analog input signal to the device.
Keep the digital supply voltage (DVDD) at the lowest permissible value.
In Manual Mode, run the device at the optimum sampling speed. Power consumption scales with Sampling Speed. In Manual Mode, the sampling speed is dependent on time period (or frequency) of SCL (Equation 7). Figure 69 and Figure 70 illustrate scaling of IAVDD and IDVDD with SCL in Manual Mode.

DVDD = 3.3 V

In Autonomous Modes and High Precision Mode, the balance between sampling speed and power consumption can be obtained by selecting the oscillator for conversion and setting the nCLK value. The device sampling speed and power consumption reduce by increasing the nCLK value. Refer to Figure 71, Figure 72, Figure 73 and Figure 74 for current consumption in Autonomous modes and High Precision mode with different nCLK values.
