Faster PWM DAC Using Two lower-resolution PWM Signals Added

Faster PWM DAC using parallel lower res PWM. 

Create two PWM outputs, and analog scale & sum to get result 20x faster than with a longer PWM clock interval. 

Divide by 4 to go from 8 bits to 6 bits.
Two scale to two 3-bit numbers, 
lower: & 111,  higher: >>3 & 111
