Does it mean that the S/H in 8535 features the internal > voltage follower or something like this? This certainly sounds like there is an internal buffer amp with FET input. That means source impedance is much less of an issue than with PICs, but now you have to watch the offset voltage and bias current carefully to make sure your accuracy requirements are met. ******************************************************************** Olin Lathrop, embedded systems consultant in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, olin@embedinc.com, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
