Working Principles

The ADC0808CCN utilizes a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) architecture to convert analog signals into digital form. It works by comparing the input voltage with a reference voltage and successively approximating the digital representation of the input signal.

The conversion process starts by setting the MSB (Most Significant Bit) of the output register to 1 and then successively shifting it to the right. At each step, the ADC compares the generated digital value with the input voltage and determines whether it is higher or lower. Based on this comparison, the subsequent bits are set accordingly until the entire 8-bit digital representation is obtained.
