1.6 INTERNAL REGISTERS
The ADC101C021 is equipped with 8 internal data registers
and one address pointer register. The registers provide addi-
tional ADC functions such as storing minimum and maximum
conversion results, setting alert threshold levels, and storing
data to configure the operation of the device. Figure 6 shows
all of the registers and their corresponding address pointer
values. All of the registers are read/write capable except the
conversion result register which is read-only.

1.6.1 Address Pointer Register
The address pointer register controls which of the data reg-
isters is accessed by the I
every write operation is stored in the address pointer register.
This value selects the register that the following data bytes
will be written to or read from. Only the three LSBs of this
register are relevant. The other bits must always be written as
zeros. After a power-on reset, the pointer register defaults to
all zeros (conversion result register).
Default Value: 00h
