For those of you who do not have the EP9302 Data Sheet, here is a brief summary 
of the ADC information.

The lower 16 bits of the ADCResult register contain a 16-bit signed value.
This value can be from -25000 to +25000 decimal.

+25000 = 0x61A8 = Vref
     0 = 0x0000 = Vref/2
-25000 = 0x9E58 = 0 V
