6.4.1.2
When calibrating a set point or threshold of a sensor,
typically only a small portion of the DAC output range is
utilized. If the LSb size is adequate enough to meet the
application’s accuracy needs, the unused range is
sacrificed without consequences. If greater accuracy is
needed, then the output range will need to be reduced
to increase the resolution around the desired threshold.

If the threshold is not near V
a “window” around the threshold has several
advantages. One simple method to create this
“window” is to use a voltage divider network with a
pull-up and pull-down resistor.
