Working Principles

The AD7703AR is based on the successive approximation register (SAR) architecture. It uses a combination of an analog multiplexer, programmable gain amplifier, and SAR ADC to convert analog signals into digital data. The input signal is amplified and conditioned by the programmable gain amplifier before being sampled and converted by the ADC. The converted digital data is then made available through the serial interface.
