Working Principles

The MAX1406CPE is an analog-to-digital converter that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital values. It utilizes a successive approximation algorithm to achieve high-resolution conversion. The input signal is sampled and held, and then the internal ADC core performs a series of comparisons to determine the digital output value. The converted digital data can be accessed through the serial interface.
