Hello All,
I would like to know if there is something called analog mux.
Also, I would like to understand for the following example below which method (1 or 2) would be more efficient ... I would like to monitor certain analog inputs to the design. The monitor application itself is in digital domain. Hence the analog signal has to be brought into digital domain first. There are 8 such analog signals which need similar monitoring
1) I will put a ADC for every analog signal and then do necessary processing
2) I will (analog) multiplex the 8 analog signals and then put a single ADC
In the first case, we have 8 ADC while in the second case, we have one analog mux followed by 1 ADC.
I am not sure which is more efficient and whether analog mux is even realizable at all.
I would like experts to weigh-in ...
