Appendix D Register-Level Programming
PC-LPM-16/PnP User Manual D-2

Register Size
The PC-LPM-16/PnP registers are 8-bit registers. To transfer 16-bit
data, you need two consecutive I/O read or write operations. For
example, to read the 16-bit A/D conversion result, read the low byte of
FIFO first, then the high byte of FIFO.
Register Descriptions
Table D-1 divides the PC-LPM-16/PnP registers into four different
register groups. A bit description of each of the registers making up
these groups is included later in this appendix.
The Configuration and Status Register Group controls the overall
operation of the PC-LPM-16/PnP and the D/A circuitry. The Analog
Input Register Group reads output from the successive-approximation
ADC. The Counter/Timer Register Group accesses the onboard
MSM82C53 counter/timer integrated circuit. The Digital I/O Register
Group consists of the digital output and input registers.
