Working Principles

The AD7945BN is based on the successive approximation register (SAR) architecture. It utilizes a capacitor array and a comparator to perform the conversion process. The analog input signal is sampled and held by the internal sample-and-hold circuitry. The ADC then compares the input voltage with the reference voltage and generates a digital output representing the analog input value.
