Working Principles

The PT8A991APE is an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital values. It utilizes a successive approximation algorithm to determine the digital representation of the input voltage. The ADC samples the analog input voltage at a high speed and compares it to a reference voltage. By iteratively adjusting the digital output based on the comparison results, the ADC converges towards the closest digital value representing the input voltage.
