I got you. I would agree, direct comparison is error-prone. (10M is 
impacted)
I would suggest do not use convert function. lat_en should rather 
presented as lat_enc = scale x value:
Introduce two u16 variables, u16 lat_enc_d and u16 max_ltr_enc_d;

lat_enc_d = (lat_enc & 0x0x3ff) x (1U << 5*((max_ltr_enc & 0x1c00) >> 10))

max_ltr_enc_d = (max_ltr_enc & 0x0x3ff) x (1U << 5*((max_ltr_enc & 
0x1c00) >> 10))

Then:
if (lat_enc_d > max_ltr_enc_d)
	lat_enc = max_ltr_enc;
what do you think?
