Decoding the i2c data to voltage

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LTC2497

hi team 

We are using the LTC2497 in single-ended mode, with IN- grounded and a reference voltage (Vref) of 2.5V. Channel 11 is connected to an input voltage of 0.85V. The I2C data read from the LTC2497 is 0xAD47C0, which translates to output_reg[21:6] = 0x00B51F = 46367.

Based on the calculation:
1 * (46367 / 65535) * 0.500 * 2.500 = 0.884V


However, the input voltage remains constant at 0.85V. While other channels are being used to calculate current from other devices, we are using this channel specifically to cross-check the calculations. Despite this, we observe a discrepancy in the calculated result.
Could you confirm if there is an issue with the data decoding or calculations?
