Working Principles

The MAX1243BESA is an analog-to-digital converter that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital values. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to achieve high-resolution conversion. The analog input signal is compared against a reference voltage, and the converter iteratively approximates the input value until the digital output accurately represents the analog input.
