Arduino Due with LTC2366 ADC

I am using Arduino Due's SPI (MISO) interface to communicate with an LTC2366 16 bit ADC (edit: it is 12 bit).

I am using the suggested libraries and yet I see all 1s in mu output. This is the code I'm using:

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Arduino.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <LTC2366.h>

uint16_t val;
uint16_t *ptrVal=&val;
float final; 

void setup(){

  Serial.begin(9600);

  SPI.begin(10);

  pinMode(MISO, INPUT);

  SPI.setClockDivider(10, 42);

  SPI.beginTransaction(SPISettings(16000000, MSBFIRST, SPI_MODE1));


}


void loop(){

  LTC2366_read(10,ptrVal);
  final = LTC2366_code_to_voltage(val,3.3);

  //transfer 0x0F to the device on pin 10, keep the chip selected
  // val= SPI.transfer16(10);
  //transfer 0x00 to the device on pin 10, keep the chip selected
  //transfer 0x00 to the device on pin 10, store byte received in response1, keep the chip selected
  Serial.println(final);

}

Where the functions used are defined as follows:


// Reads and sends a word
// Return 0 if successful, 1 if failed
void spi_transfer_word(uint8_t cs_pin, uint16_t tx, uint16_t *rx)
{
    union
    {
        uint8_t b[2];
        uint16_t w;
    } data_tx;
    
    union
    {
        uint8_t b[2];
        uint16_t w;
    } data_rx;

    data_tx.w = tx;

    output_low(cs_pin);                         //! 1) Pull CS low

    data_rx.b[1] = SPI.transfer(data_tx.b[1]);  //! 2) Read MSB and send MSB
    data_rx.b[0] = SPI.transfer(data_tx.b[0]);  //! 3) Read LSB and send LSB

    *rx = data_rx.w;

    output_high(cs_pin);                        //! 4) Pull CS high
}


// Reads the ADC  and returns 16-bit data
void LTC2366_read(uint8_t cs, uint16_t *ptr_adc_code)
{
  uint16_t dummy_command = 0;

  spi_transfer_word(cs, dummy_command, ptr_adc_code);

  return;

}


// Calculates the voltage corresponding to an adc code in offset binary, given the reference voltage (in volts)
float LTC2366_code_to_voltage(uint16_t adc_code, float vref)
{
  float voltage;

  adc_code = adc_code << 2;  //the data is left justified to bit_13 of a 16 bit word

  voltage = (float)adc_code;
  voltage = voltage / (pow(2,16)-1);    //! 2) This calculates the input as a fraction of the reference voltage (dimensionless)
  voltage = voltage * vref;           //! 3) Multiply fraction by Vref to get the actual voltage at the input (in volts)

  return(voltage);
}```

NO VALUE IS PRINTED. THE code makes so much sense, can you please help me understand what I am missing.

LTC2366 datasheet states that it's an 12-bit ADC converter....

Thank you for that, It was a typo. Still the issue stands

SPI.begin() should set up the hardware pins for SPI peripheral use. You should not call pinMode() after SPI.begin() because it will make MISO a regular GPIO pin again.

Thank you for your time. I get extremely noisy data even for DC values. I do not understand why that is.
