The discussion centers on the feasibility of creating an inverter with output dependent on a digital resistor. Linear Technology's Programmable Gain Amplifiers (PGAs) are highlighted as a solution, offering gain control from 1 to over 4000V/V through a simple serial or parallel interface. These PGAs are noted for their excellent gain accuracy, channel-to-channel matching, and low drift of 1ppm/°C. The conversation emphasizes the potential for precise control in inverter applications using digital resistors.
