Working Principles

The MAX1295BCEI operates on the principle of successive approximation. It converts analog input signals into digital data by comparing the input voltage with a reference voltage and determining the closest digital representation.

The ADC uses an internal reference voltage generator (REFOUT) to provide a stable and accurate reference voltage. The input voltage is sampled and converted into a digital value using a series of comparisons and adjustments. The resulting digital data is then transmitted through the SPI interface for further processing.
