Some A/D accept a +/- signal. Apparently not the one in your chip.
Many external ones do. To stay with the one in your chip you will either have to add a circuit to invert the signal. Or more common is to add an offset to insure the signal is never negative at the A/D input. This usually makes half scale 0 (for a 10 bit A/D 0 - 1023 counts 0 = -20 512 = = 1023 = +20)

      Every 2 seconds            01/01/70 00:00      
         what type of analog signal you are talking about?            01/01/70 00:00      
            I would not, but            01/01/70 00:00      
         Easy            01/01/70 00:00

               Then again            01/01/70 00:00      
   Negative readings            01/01/70 00:00      
      Datasheet!            01/01/70 00:00      
         can you please be specific            01/01/70 00:00      
            negative readings?            01/01/70 00:00      
            Not allowed?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Negative ADC readings - again            01/01/70 00:00      
   Like this            01/01/70 00:00      
      I do not understand            01/01/70 00:00

         Another BANG!            01/01/70 00:00      
            I assumed            01/01/70 00:00      
               Looks like it cannot be done.            01/01/70 00:00      
                  you can            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Exlain            01/01/70 00:00      
                        OK, like this            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Thanks            01/01/70 00:00      
                              or you can use opamp as non inverting summing amp.            01/01/70 00:00
