Decode ADC Result Using Union Bitfields

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

typedef union {
    struct {
        uint16_t adc_value : 12;
        uint16_t channel   : 4;
    }adc_struct;
    uint16_t adc_reg;
} ADC_Result;

int main() {
    uint16_t reg;
    scanf("%hx", &reg);
    ADC_Result res;
    res.adc_reg = reg;
    printf("Channel: %d\n",res.adc_struct.channel);
    printf("ADC Value: %d\n",res.adc_struct.adc_value);
    return 0;
}
