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;
    };
    uint16_t adc_reg;
} ADC_Result;

int main() {
    uint16_t reg;
    scanf("%hx", &reg);

    // Fill union and print channel and adc_value
    printf("Channel: %d\n",uint8_t(reg>>12));
    reg  = reg & (0x0FFF);
    printf("ADC Value: %d",reg);
    return 0;
}
