Example
The following example shows how the least significant digits are padded with "0" values:
● The module with 16-bit resolution is capable of incrementing the values in steps of one
unit (2
0
= 1).
● The module with 13-bit resolution is capable of incrementing the values in steps of 8 units
(2
3
= 8).
