43.1.6 Result Formatting

The ADC conversion result can be supplied in two formats, left justified or right justified. The FM bit controls the output format as shown in Figure 43-3.

Important: Writes to the ADRES register pair are always right justified, regardless of the selected format mode. Therefore, a data read after writing to ADRES when FM = 0 will be shifted left four places.
