Working Principles

The MCP3422A0-E/MS is based on the delta-sigma modulation technique. It converts analog signals into digital data by oversampling the input signal and using a digital filter to remove noise. The onboard programmable gain amplifier allows for amplification and conditioning of the analog signal before conversion. The converted digital data is then transmitted via the I2C interface for further processing.
