From this chart you see the N-Code for Ch.l is the number "330", with the numbers progressing down
to "286" at Ch.40. This number 330 is the direct result of applying +DC voltages of about 5-10 VDC to
certain PLL IC pins while grounding certain others. Thus, two possible voltage choices, and you'll
recall that the PLL uses a digital or binary counting system instead of the decimal system people use.
In a binary number system each successive chip programming pin or "bit" (binary digit) is worth
exactly double (or half) that of the pin next to it: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. Thus each pin can be defined by its
Power-of-2. We can also call them "1's bit", "2's bit", "4's bit", etc.
