Hi,
If you check spru060 (nowadays it is on revision D, I believe), you
will see that ADCRESULTn register is a 16 bit register and the first 4
bits (from 0 to 3) are reserved.
The adc conversion is placed on 12 bits: from 4 to 15.
If you use the command you mention "Uint16 V= AdcRegs.ADCRESULT0;",
you are going to have a wrong conversion result. The shift is really
necessary.
