Forum Post: TLV320ADC3001: Confirm the usage for sensing application.

Dear all,
Customer think to use the TLV320ADC3001 as the general ADC for the sensing application because this device is lower cost than the general high resolution ADC like ADS1120. And we got some questions which relates with this usage. Please let me confirm the following questions.

[Question.1]
 Does this device have the low power mode like the sleep mode of AIC3204? I could not find this mode in its datasheet.

[Question.2]
 They will use this device with the intermittent mode in order to reduce the power consumption. Thus, the device enter the sleep mode in basically, and it will wake up at regular 10ms~40ms intervals in order to sample the input data. How do you think that they can do this usage?

[Question.3]
 Can they control the sampling timing with using the external pin like I2S signals?

[Question.4]
 What is the difference in Audio ADC and general high resolution ADC?  I could not know them.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Best regards,
