>it's anything like CMOS digital logic levels=>0-1.5 & 3.5-5. Bill, Check the "Electrical Characteristics" for any chip. Note that it is possible for each chip to differ. As a rule, 15% Vdd and below is "0" on all chips. For 12-bit parts, 35% and above is "1". For 14-bit parts, 85% and above is "1". That's just a basic rule, and it doesn't always apply.
