`analogWriteResolution()` sets the resolution of the `analogWrite()` function. It defaults to 8 bits (values between 0-255) for backward compatibility with AVR based boards.

The *Due* has the following hardare capabilities:
The *Due* has the following hardware capabilities:

* 12 pins which default to 8-bit PWM, like the AVR-based boards. These can be changed to 12-bit resolution.
* 2 pins with 12-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter)

By setting the write resolution to 12, you can use `analogWrite()` with values between 0 and 4095 to exploit the full DAC resolution or to set the PWM signal without rolling over.


The *Zero* has the following hardare capabilities:
The *Zero* has the following hardware capabilities:

* 10 pins which default to 8-bit PWM, like the AVR-based boards. These can be changed to 12-bit resolution.
* 1 pin with 10-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter).

By setting the write resolution to 10, you can use `analogWrite()` with values between 0 and 1023 to exploit the full DAC resolution


The *MKR Family* of boards has the following hardare capabilities:
The *MKR Family* of boards has the following hardware capabilities:

* 4 pins which default to 8-bit PWM, like the AVR-based boards. These can be changed from 8 (default) to 12-bit resolution.
* 1 pin with 10-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter)
