Working Principles

The MAX1036EKA+T is an analog-to-digital converter that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital data. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to achieve high-resolution conversions. The input analog signal is compared to a reference voltage, and the converter determines the digital representation based on this comparison. The converted digital data is then transmitted through the serial interface for further processing.
