I hate to sound like a dummy, but sometimes the truth cannot be 
hidden.

Can you offer any type of link to how to use one ?


I down loaded the TI data sheet for an LM-385, 3 pin TO-92 package 
unit and the unit is shown as a zener with the voltage after a 
resistor.

The idea of using 4.096 is interesting, but it would seem that 4.096 
would be the maximum voltage it could read ?
