Do Analog Multiplexers need a GND connection

(1/1)

Arznei:
Hello,

I am having a hard time getting this straight in my head. I am trying to have an analog test signal pass through an unknown impedance that could have a voltage source inside it. So my plan was to have the impedance decoupled with capacitors like shown in the attached schematic. First of all: I am not even sure this works, so if you can give me some input on that I would appreciate it.

Now on top of that i would like to switch between different outputs, for example the external impedance under test and a known calibration one. I figured it would be best to have the path selection after C1. However I am not sure if an analog multiplexer like ADG739 would work in that instance? I mean the output behind C1 is not really tied to GND, so will it pass through an analog switch without problems?

Thank you for any advice!

Something is not right with your schematic,

MUX better to put at the OPA output, than you always would know DC bias point, and control it if it's necessary.
