Working Principles

The AD7856ARZ utilizes the successive approximation register (SAR) architecture for analog-to-digital conversion. It works by comparing the input analog voltage with a reference voltage and successively narrowing down the digital representation until the desired accuracy is achieved.

The conversion process involves several steps: 1. The SAR ADC starts by setting the most significant bit (MSB) of the output register to the midpoint of the ADC's input voltage range. 2. The ADC then compares the input voltage with the generated reference voltage and determines whether the input voltage is higher or lower. 3. Based on the comparison result, the ADC sets the next bit of the output register accordingly. 4. The process continues iteratively, with each subsequent bit being determined based on the previous comparisons. 5. Once all the bits are set, the digital representation of the input voltage is complete and available for further processing.
