I am thinking of use the Maxim, which offers 8 S & H channels so I will have simultaneous sampling. This IC communicates in parallel with the outside world, with 5Mhz clock makes conversion to max 3,8 uS so I will have a total conversion time of 3.8 * 8 = 30.4 uS + 800ns sampling gives us a conversion time = 31.2 uS so Fs = 1 / 31.2 uS = 32 kSPS per channel. So throughput is 32 kSPS * 8 = 256 kSPS about. Each sample is 1 byte (8-bit ADC) so I need a 256 KByte/s minimum communication speed; Is this thought correct?
If so, can i achieve this speed with pic18f4553 running at 48MHz..?
