Working Principles

The MAX11629EEE+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 conversion. The analog input voltage is compared against the internal reference voltage, and the converter determines the digital representation based on the comparison result. The converted digital data is then transmitted through the serial interface for further processing.
