I know that mathematically the k-V analog input on an A to D converter could be converted to the digital code of \$\dfrac{k(2^n-1)}{VDD}\$. But I really don't understand where it comes from and the logic behind it. Any help would be appreciated.

\$\begingroup\$ yes but how we get to that formula in the question? \$\endgroup\$ – Jack Sep 30 '15 at 11:56

\$\begingroup\$ The minimum value is represented by 0V and the maximum value is represented by Vdd. The rest is just linear interpolation. \$\endgroup\$ – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Sep 30 '15 at 11:57
