Working Principles

The AD7888ARZ is based on the successive approximation register (SAR) architecture. It uses a capacitor array and switches to sample and hold the analog input voltage. The internal SAR circuitry then compares the sampled voltage with a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) output, iteratively adjusting the DAC value until it matches the input voltage. This process determines the digital representation of the analog signal.
