Working Principles

The MAX117CAI+T is an analog-to-digital converter that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital data. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to achieve high-resolution conversion. The analog input voltage is sampled and compared against a reference voltage. The converter iteratively approximates the input voltage by adjusting the digital code until it converges to the closest representation of the analog signal. The resulting digital output represents the converted value of the input voltage.
