Working Principles

The MAX186CCWP is an analog-to-digital converter that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital data. It utilizes a successive approximation algorithm to determine the digital representation of the input voltage. The input voltage is compared to an internal reference voltage, and the converter iteratively adjusts the digital output until it closely matches the input voltage.
