Working Principles

The AD7841ASZ operates by sampling the analog input voltage and converting it into a digital representation using a successive approximation algorithm. The analog signal is compared to a reference voltage, and the converter determines the digital code that best represents the input voltage. This digital code is then outputted through the serial interface.
