Parametric values are calculated by multiplying the returned value by the LSB value. Table 8-4 below shows the returned values for this application example assuming the design requirements shown in Table 8-3.

Shunt Voltage, Current, Bus Voltage (positive only), Charge, and Temperature return values in two's complement format. In two's complement format a negative value in binary is represented by having a 1 in the most significant bit of the returned value. These values can be converted to decimal by first inverting all the bits and adding 1 to obtain the unsigned binary value. This value should then be converted to decimal with the negative sign applied. For example, assume a shunt voltage reading returns 1011 0100 0001 0000 0000. This is a negative value due to the MSB having a value of one. Inverting the bits and adding one results in 0100 1011 1111 0000 0000 (311040d) which from the shunt voltage example in Table 8-4 correlates to a voltage of 97.2 mV. Since the returned value was negative the measured shunt voltage value is -97.2 mV.
