I think you need to read a bit more about the GA144 and how the ADC 
works.  There is no limit to the resolution of the ADC data word.  Once 
you actually understand how the ADC works, you will see that.  But as 
long as you keep talking about the constituent parts, you will not see it.

Hey, ANALOG is *your* term, not mine!  Go back to your previous post, 
you said, "Y is  " how can I use the GA144's VCO to measure very small 
analog changes on its input pin with very high resolution?" Answer - see
above."  So what is an ANALOG that you are measuring changes in?
