[2] For frequency signals greater than 100 Hz, an additional 0.1% per 100 Hz is added. The accuracy of the duty cycle should be
calculated as:
Calculation example: Frequency setting = 4800 Hz, Duty cycle setting = 50%
The duty cycle accuracy (for frequency setting 4800 Hz) is calculated as 50% ± 2.55%.
