Working Principles

The ADS7818EB/250 operates based on the successive approximation register (SAR) architecture. It samples the analog input voltage and converts it into a 12-bit digital value using an internal ADC core. The conversion process is controlled by the serial interface, which communicates with an external microcontroller. The converted digital data can then be processed and utilized by the microcontroller or other digital circuits.
