Is it possible? Feasible?

berkeman said:Yes, that's done all the time. You use the MUX as the sample part of your sample and hold circuit, with the hold cap between the MUX and the ADC input. The sample time depends on the impedance of the MUX switches.
An analog multiplexer is a device that allows multiple analog signals to be transmitted through a single channel. It acts as a switch, selecting one input at a time and sending it to the output.
An analog multiplexer uses a combination of switches and logic gates to control the selection of inputs. The input signals are connected to the switches and the output is connected to the logic gates. The logic gates determine which switch is open and therefore which input is selected.
An ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) is a device that converts analog signals into digital signals. It measures the amplitude of an analog signal and assigns a digital value to represent it.
An analog multiplexer using ADC combines the functionality of both devices. The analog multiplexer selects the input signal and sends it to the ADC. The ADC then converts the analog signal into a digital signal which can be read and processed by a microcontroller or other digital system.
Using an analog multiplexer with an ADC allows for the selection and conversion of multiple analog signals with only one device. This saves space and reduces the number of components needed in a circuit. It also allows for easier control and monitoring of multiple analog signals in a system.
