Working Principles

The ADS7822EC/250 is an analog-to-digital converter that converts analog signals into a digital format. It utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to achieve high-resolution conversion. The analog input voltage is compared to a reference voltage, and the converter determines the digital representation based on this comparison. The converted digital data can then be accessed through the serial interface.
