Working Principles

The MAX12555ETL+T 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 analog input voltage and convert it into a binary representation. The converted digital data can then be processed by a microcontroller or other digital devices.

The ADC operates based on the principle of successive approximation. It compares the input voltage against a reference voltage and iteratively adjusts its internal digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to find the closest match. This process continues until the desired accuracy, determined by the resolution, is achieved.
