Working Principles

The AD558JP is an 8-bit successive approximation type ADC. It utilizes a capacitor-based digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a comparator to perform the conversion process. The analog input voltage is compared to the DAC output voltage using the comparator. The successive approximation algorithm adjusts the DAC output iteratively until it matches the input voltage within the desired accuracy. The resulting digital value is then available for further processing or storage.
