From my experience with a Hitec HS-5055MG with a PIC Microcontroller for my senior design project, I can say that they do operate the same for the most part.

With ours, if we get to the outer limits of what a standard servo would take for an input, the digital one will just cut out. We pulled our hair out trying to find our programming bug, when in fact, our code worked perfectly, and it was the servo giving us a fit.

To summarize this, the pulse width for the extremes of this particular digital servo would cause the servo to stop rotating, going into an error state of some sort.

The manual or documentation should show the pulse width limits and the pulse width slot for your particular servo.
