Working Principles

The ADS7957SDBTR operates based on the successive approximation register (SAR) architecture. It samples the analog input voltage and converts it into a digital representation using a series of comparisons and approximations. The internal circuitry compares the input voltage against a reference voltage and determines the most significant bit (MSB) by toggling the voltage level until a match is found. This process continues iteratively, determining each subsequent bit until the full 12-bit digital output is obtained.
