Working Principles

The MAX11960ETJ+ is an analog-to-digital converter that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital data. It utilizes a high-speed sampling technique to capture the input signal and quantizes it into 16-bit binary code. The converted digital data can then be processed by a microcontroller or digital signal processor for further analysis or storage.

The device operates by comparing the input voltage against a reference voltage (VREF) and generating a digital representation of the input signal based on the comparison result. The internal circuitry of the ADC includes a sample-and-hold amplifier, a voltage comparator, and a successive approximation register (SAR) for accurate conversion.
