Definitions
- a linear range having a high operating voltage of 5.5 volts, a low operating voltage of 2 volts, and a tolerance of ⁇ 5 % requires at least 4 bits to generate 16 selectable operating voltages (e.g. more than 4 bits are required to provide an error range for drift, selectability and offset).
- the use of three to five dedicated pins is sufficient.
- the coding scheme may also be nonlinear wherein each binary step does not represent an equally spaced analog operating voltage.
