<p class="MsoNormal">A processor fast enough to read your analog channels and mux them in to a digital stream that could be sent around internally and the data picked off by small processors that can handle the comms and do local conversion back to analog with
its internal dac. The ST arm chips ( if available) have 12bit DACs, most cheap PICs have 10bit.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Another advantage of the digital approach is that you could scramble the data stream so that any noise created would be gaussian.<o:p></o:p></p>

ok, I hear you! I just don’t see a Sallen-Key filter being used for “brick-wall” duties.
