Register Set

The TSL256x is controlled and monitored by sixteen registers (three are reserved) and a command register

accessed through the serial interface. These registers provide for a variety of control functions and can be read

to determine results of the ADC conversions. The register set is summarized in Table 2.

The mechanics of accessing a specific register depends on the specific SMB protocol used. Refer to the section

on SMBus protocols. In general, the COMMAND register is written first to specify the specific control/status

register for following read/write operations.
