Hi Richard,
 the A152 selects between several Sample&Holds. Tha means: S&H stage one
 is filled, then the address goes on and fills the second S&H stage and
 so on. The value in the first S&H stage stays the same.
 A shift register hands over the values from the first S&H stage to the
 second S&H stage and then fills the first stage with a new value.
