AD7 - 0 A/D data bits 7 - 0; AD0 is the LSB; A/D data is an unsigned 16-bit value.

The A/D value is derived by reading two bytes from Base + 0 and Base + 1 and applying the following formula:

A/D value = (Base + 0 value) + (Base + 1 value) * 256

The value is interpreted as a twos complement 16-bit number ranging from –32768 to +32767. This raw A/D value must then be converted to the corresponding input voltage and/or the engineering units represented by that voltage by applying additional application-specific formulas. Both conversions (conversion to volts and then conversion to engineering units) may be combined into a single formula for efficiency.
