Working Principles

The AD7841BSZ is based on the successive approximation architecture. It uses a track-and-hold circuit to sample the analog input voltage and then performs a series of comparisons to determine the digital representation of the input signal. The converted digital data is then transmitted through the serial interface to an external microcontroller or DSP.
