Working Principles

The MAX1203BEAP 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 signal is compared to a reference voltage, and the ADC iteratively adjusts its internal digital code until it reaches a close match with the input voltage. The resulting digital code represents the converted value.
