Working Principles

The MAX186CEAP+G077 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 analog 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 various control inputs such as chip select, read/write, address latch enable, and clock.
