If I fix the voltage with each VSEL then only 4 voltages will be
possible but I want to have more than 4 different output.
How do I achieve this?

I did not understand it correctly. Can you please elaborate how can we
pass the voltage with corresponding vsel?
I want to have around 10 different voltages at output.
