Conversion Formula for Unipolar Input Ranges
Input voltage = (A/D value + 32768) / 65536 * Full-scale input range
Example:
Given, Input range is 0-5V and A/D value is 17761.
Therefore,
Input voltage = (17761 + 32768) / 65536 * 5V = 3.855V.
For a unipolar input range, 1 LSB = 1/65536 * Full-scale voltage.
The following table illustrates the relationship between A/D code and input voltage for a unipolar input range (VFS
= Full scale input voltage).
