Abstract: A circuit for selectably generating a plurality of preselected digital output signals which are precise and accurate, and among which the circuit can switch rapidly. In one embodiment, the outputs are connected to analog circuit signals, and drive a optical laser such that choice of the particular outputs of the circuit permits controllable switching of the laser output wavelength.
