Working Principles

The TLC541IN is an analog-to-digital converter that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital values. It utilizes a successive approximation technique to determine the digital representation of the input signal. The converter samples the analog input at a high speed and compares it to a reference voltage. By iteratively adjusting the digital output, the converter converges to a value that closely matches the input signal.
