This table is broken into three groups by a thick line (and color coding). The unshaded devices in this table
are the devices described in this data sheet, while the shaded devices offer a comparable resistor network
configuration.
Analog characteristics only tested from 2.7V to 5.5V.
Analog characteristics only tested from 3.0V to 5.5V.
These devices have a simplified I
