#155152 - At best the SiLabs A/D....
Responding to: ???'s previous message
At best the SiLabs A/D measures 0-3.3V (and more like 0-2.5V if a decent reference is provided). You should really consider using an opamp to buffer the signal for each channel. If you analog source is super low impedance then it may be possible to use input attenuators. However, consider that the attenuator dividers may need to divide to the VREF +V pin and that may demand a low impedance VREF as well and may compromise the VREF accuracy.
