Note 5:  

Zero-scale offsets may result in a fixed zero-scale error producing a "dead-band” digital input code region. In 
this case, changes in digital input code at values less than 0x040 may not produce a corresponding change in the 
output voltage. The offset error is tested and specified at code 0x040.
