#184785 - Same-same
Responding to: ???'s previous message

This might sound stupid, but i was wondering what if multiple Sample-and-hold amplifiers are used in front of a DAC and the DAC is run at a high speed to output a voltage that is "latched" in a Sample and Hold amp ? Lets say we talk about 8x SnH amps at front of a DA ?

however clumsy and imprecise id possible if your device receiveing the analogs has a reasonably high input impedance use analog switches to switch between caps connected to the high impedance analog inputs.

However, i just dont get how u justify the CAP approach ! It sounds more dumbfounded than the S&H theory.


But capacitors + analog switches are just a specific implementation of a S/H solution. It's just that you can have it all integrated in a chip, or build it with discrete components.

               why do you think I said "high input impedance"?            01/01/70 00:00

         Still no answer to "need"            01/01/70 00:00      
         No, that is not a requirement!            01/01/70 00:00      
            Very interesting how this always comes up            01/01/70 00:00
