Working Principles

The ADS7870EA/1KG4 is an analog-to-digital converter that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital data. It utilizes a successive approximation algorithm to achieve high-resolution conversion. The analog input voltage is compared to a reference voltage, and the converter determines the digital code that best represents the input voltage.

The conversion process is controlled by an internal clock and can be initiated by a microcontroller through the serial interface. The converted digital data is then made available for further processing or storage.
