Working Principles

The MAX186BEPP is an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that converts analog signals into digital data. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to achieve high-resolution conversions. The analog input voltage is compared to a reference voltage, and the ADC determines the digital representation based on this comparison. The conversion process is controlled by the internal clock and timing signals.
