Working Principles

The MAX122BENG is an analog-to-digital converter that converts analog signals into digital data. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to achieve high-resolution conversions. The analog input voltage is compared to the internal reference voltage, and the converter determines the digital representation based on the comparison results. The converted digital data is then outputted through the serial interface.
