DT_Analog & 12F1822 internal voltage reference

[Heckler]

Ok,

after looking at 65472 in binary 1111111111000000

It appears that you have just shifted a 10 bit binary to the Left end of a 16 bit number.

So then the AD value for a 16-bit DT_Analog can range from 0-65472 ??
Therefore we get to take advantage of the extra 6 bits of resolution EXCEPT when the value goes over 65472 ??
We just give up a little resolution to gain the extra (almost) 6 bits over a 10 bit AD ??

and 8 bit range is still 0-255
and 10 bit range is still 0-1023
