Help in understanding Microstep table

Hi, all
I'm trying to develop a step motor controller using trinamic chips.
(www.trinamic.com <http://www.trinamic.com/> ).
So far I understood everything, but I have a doubt about a microstep table.
Source example is here ->
http://www.trinamic.com/tmcweb/downloads/tmc236_example_MD.c
This chip as a 4 bit DAC, thus a 16 micro step resolution. So, why is the
table 64 positions?
Should be only 16 right? I believe that this as to do with the sin/cos
functions. That means
That this table is a complete sin/cos function (16*4). If this is right how
do I move one
full step using only 16 microsteps (in the max resolution) ?
Boy I'm confused.
Thanks in advance
Joaquim
