Working Principles

The MAX1085BESA+T is a high-speed, low-power ADC that converts analog signals into digital data. It utilizes a successive approximation technique to achieve 12-bit resolution. The input voltage range is determined by the reference voltage (VREF) provided externally. The ADC operates with a supply voltage between 2.7V and 3.6V, making it suitable for various applications.

The conversion process starts when the chip select (CS) input is activated. The analog input signal is sampled and converted into a digital value using the internal reference voltage. The digital output is then transmitted serially through the SCLK pin and can be read from the DOUT pin.
