Working Principles

The MAX189ACWE+T is an analog-to-digital converter that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital data. It achieves this by sampling the analog input voltage and converting it into a binary representation using a 12-bit resolution. The conversion process is controlled by an internal clock signal, and the resulting digital data is output through a serial interface.
