ADC range

2004-02-09 by drmabuce

Hi Andrew,
    to add to Grant's (authotitative) explanation of the DAC's 4096 (0 to 4095) output....
    the ADC's have a different range:
    5v divided into 1024 (0-1023) steps. This CV input range is clamped by a zener diode to 5V... so i've found that CV input attenuation is useful sometimes.
    So the outputs are resolved to 4096 
    inputs are resolved to 1024
hope that helps,
-doc
