Working Principles

The MAX1036MEKA+T is an analog-to-digital converter that converts analog signals into digital data. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to achieve high-resolution conversion. The analog input signal is sampled and held, and the internal SAR performs a binary search to determine the digital representation of the input voltage. The converted digital data is then made available through the serial interface.
