CCS/AWR1642: How is the sampled data converted to 16-bit data?

Part Number: AWR1642

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

   As can be seen from the data manual, the ADC of AWR1642 rf front-end is 12-bit sampling.

   When I set the adcoutcfg. b2AdcBits = 16, some of the ADC data I obtained exceeded the range that can be represented by 12bit.

    How is the sampled data converted to 16-bit data?

    1. Move 12-bit ADC data 4 bits to the left to get 16-bit ADC data?

    2. Add 4 bits of high ADC data to get 16 bits of ADC data?

     3.16 an ADC data = 12 ADC * (2 ^ 15) / 2 ^ 11?
