Re: Scaling Buffer or Dual Processor

2006-08-11 by John P

The Dual Processor & Scaling Buffers do similar things but not the same
thing.
The Scaling Buffers (each) can apply scaling/inverting + offset to one
signal at a time. They don't mix inputs.
The Dual Processor (each) can mix/scale up to 3 inputs together + apply
offset to the sum.

So the Scaling Buffers are skinny subsets of the Dual Processor. The
Dual Processor does everything the Scaling Buffers do, and it mixes too.

The Dual Processor is better for small-midsize systems, since it does
everything. A sprinkling of Scaling Buffers is good for mid-to larger
systems where you sometimes need to trim/invert a signal or two, or
drive some things with a common offset.
