Working Principles

The AD7874BN operates on the principle of successive approximation. It samples the analog input voltage and compares it to a reference voltage. By iteratively adjusting the digital code, it converges towards the closest digital representation of the analog signal. The converted digital data is then made available through the serial interface.
