Working Principles

The MAX1436ECQ+TD is an analog-to-digital converter that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital data. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to achieve high-resolution conversion. The input analog voltage is compared against the internal reference voltage, and the converter determines the digital representation based on the comparison results. The converted digital data is then output through the serial interface.
