Reading Data
using a Read Command
Note that if the differential input voltage is negative (CH- > CH+), the MSB of the first byte will be "1". In this case, the
voltage is calculated after converting the output code to 2's complement and then multiply the LSB.
See Section 4.9 of the MCP3423 Data Sheet (DS22088) for more information.
