Which multiplexers can i use to switch between two voltages,5 and -9V.I've tried using an analog switch but am supplying it with 5 volts so it cannot switch higher voltages.
I've tried scaling down the voltages but i cannot get the switch to switch negative voltages.
Any help with this regard will be highly appreciated

Why not use the -9V to power the negative voltage on the mux (CMOS muxes take only microamps of operating current). That would allow you to switch both the +5V and -9V. For example you can power the CD4051/52/53 with Vdd= +5V, Vss = 0V, and Vee= -9V, and then the mux will switch +5V to -9V with a 0-5V logic signal.

What type of ADC takes a negative reference voltage?
