Working Principles

The MAX186DEAP-T is an analog-to-digital converter that converts analog signals into digital data. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to achieve high-resolution conversion. The input voltage is compared to a reference voltage, and the converter determines the digital representation based on this comparison. The conversion process is controlled by an internal clock and can be triggered by a chip select signal.
