Yeah, "level of expertise" is putting it pretty generously. Someone else asked me this question, and he was interested in model rocket telemetry using some 8-bit components he knew of which had high bandwidth - he though 1 gigahertz might have been the number. So both of us are out...
Since many 8-bit A-D converters are available, what would I need, generally, to combine 2 8-bit parts to obtain a 16-bit value from an analog signal? Would I divide the analog value on the front end, or divide it after conversion, assuming my circuit split the signal in the middle? General...
