Working Principles

The LTC2157IUP-14 utilizes advanced analog-to-digital conversion techniques to transform continuous analog signals into discrete digital representations. It employs a combination of sample-and-hold, quantization, and encoding processes to achieve high-speed and high-resolution conversion.

The analog input signal is sampled at a high rate and held during the conversion process. The sampled voltage is then quantized into discrete levels using a precision voltage reference. Finally, the quantized levels are encoded into digital format, which can be further processed by digital systems.
