Working Principles

The MAX1233ETI+T is an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 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 by iteratively approximating the input voltage.

The conversion process is controlled by an internal clock and can be initiated by asserting the chip select (CS) input. Once the conversion is complete, the converted digital data is available at the data output pin (DOUT). The conversion ready (/RDY) output signal indicates when the data is valid and ready for retrieval.
