Working Principles

The MAX11608EEE+T is an analog-to-digital converter that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital data. It achieves this by sampling the analog input voltage and quantizing it into a 16-bit digital representation. The device utilizes an internal reference voltage (VREF) to establish the conversion range. The analog input voltage is compared to this reference voltage, and the resulting digital value is transmitted via the SPI interface.
