Enhanced Queued Analog-to-Digital Converter (eQADC)

this 14-bit data is the result of the calculations performed in the EQADC MAC unit using the12-bit 
data received from the ADC and the calibration constants GCC and OCC (Refer to 
Section 19.4.5.4, “ADC Calibration Feature”). Then, this 14-bit data is further formatted into a 
16-bit format according to the status of the FMT bit in the conversion command. When FMT is 
asserted, the 14-bit result data is reformatted to look as if it was measured against an imaginary 
ground at V
REF
 / 2 (the most significant bit (MSB) bit of the 14-bit result is inverted), and is 
sign-extended to a 16-bit format as in Figure 19-29. When FMT is negated, the eQADC 
zero-extends the 14-bit result data to a 16-bit format as in Figure 19-30. Correspondence between 
the analog voltage in a channel and the calculated digital values is shown in Table 19-39.

SIGN_
EXT[0:1]
Sign extension. Only has meaning when FMT is asserted. SIGN_EXT is 0b00 when CONVERSION_RESULT 
is positive, and 0b11 when CONVERSION_RESULT is negative.

_RESULT
[0:13] 
Conversion result. A digital value corresponding to the analog input voltage in a channel when the conversion 
command was initiated. The two’s complement representation is used to express negative values.
