ID Register (12h)
The ID register provides the value for both the part number and silicon revision number for that part number.
It is a read-only register whose value never changes.

ADC Channel Data Registers (14h − 17h)
The ADC channel data are expressed as 16-bit values spread across two registers. The ADC channel 0 data
registers, DATA0LOW and DATA0HIGH provide the lower and upper bytes, respectively, of the ADC value of
channel 0. Registers DATA1LOW and DATA1HIGH provide the lower and upper bytes, respectively, of the ADC
value of channel 1. All channel data registers are read-only and default to 00h on power up.
Table 12. ADC Channel Data Registers
REGISTER ADDRESS BITS DESCRIPTION
DATA0LOW 14h 7:0 ADC channel 0 lower byte
DATA0HIGH 15h 7:0 ADC channel 0 upper byte
DATA1LOW 16h 7:0 ADC channel 1 lower byte
DATA1HIGH 17h 7:0 ADC channel 1 upper byte
The upper byte data registers can only be read following a read to the corresponding lower byte register. When
the lower byte register is read, the upper eight bits are strobed into a shadow register, which is read by a
subsequent read to the upper byte. The upper register will read the correct value even if additional ADC
integration cycles end between the reading of the lower and upper registers.
NOTE: The Read Word protocol can be used to read byte-paired registers. For example, the DATA0LOW and DATA0HIGH registers (as well as
the DATA1LOW and DATA1HIGH registers) may be read together to obtain the 16-bit ADC value in a single transaction
Manual Integration Timer Registers (18h − 19h)
The MANUAL INTEGRATION TIMER registers provide the number of cycles in 10.9 μs increments that
occurred during a manual start/stop integration period. The timer is expressed as a 16-bit value across two
registers. See CONTROL and TIMING Registers for further instructions in configuring a manual integration.
The maximum time that can be derived without an overflow is 714.3 ms.
