Working Principles

The MAX186DEPP is an analog-to-digital converter that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital data. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to achieve high-resolution conversion. The analog input voltage is sampled and compared against a reference voltage, and the converter determines the digital representation based on the comparison results. The converted digital data is then made available through the serial data output pin.
