STANDBY MODE
When tSTANDBY has passed with SCLK held high,
Standby mode activates. DRDY/DOUT stays high
when Standby mode begins. SCLK must remain high
to stay in Standby mode. To exit Standby mode
(wakeup), set SCLK low. The first data after exiting
Standby mode is valid.
Standby mode dramatically reduces power
consumption by shutting down most of the circuitry.
In Standby mode, the entire analog circuitry is
powered down and only the clock source circuitry is
awake to reduce the wake-up time from the Standby
mode. To enter Standby mode, simply hold SCLK
high after DRDY/DOUT goes low; see Figure 28.
Standby mode can be initiated at any time during
readback; it is not necessary to retrieve all 20 bits of
data beforehand.

internal oscillator is used.
