I thought I saw an app note/article/design idea/or somethin' that discussed how to detect if a resulting value outside -32768 -> 32767 would occur with: i16_op1 - i16_op2 or i16_op1 - u16_op2 (u16 might be 0-32767 only) Trying to avoid using 24 bits. Anyone see the doc? ... any ideas? TIA _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
