What is the difference between normal mode and low-power mode for lis3de

I know for lis3dh, the normal mode gives 10-bit resolution while the low-power mode gives 8-bit resolution. But for lis3de, both normal mode and low-power mode gives 8-bit resolution. So what's the difference between them.

Also the following picture shows ODR 1.6KHZ is not supported by normal mode and low-power mode can achieve larger maximum ODR as 5.376KHz while in normal mode it's only 1.344KHz. T

hat means if I want to achieve ODR up to 5.376 kHz, I have to use low-power mode? This gives me higher ODR and lower power? But what do I lose?

Hello,

Have a look at this official answer:

OK. Although it looks a little bit weird but anyway it address my question. Thanks for the direction.
