Article MAX6635 writing 16bits to 8bit Config register and writing 8 bits to 16bit registers

The MAX6635 contains 16bit registers. However, the "Configuration-byte register" contains only 8bits.

This may lead to some questions that are not answered in the datasheet.

Q: What would happen on a 16-bit write to the Config Byte? 

A: The first 8 bits (MSB) are written into the Configuration Byte.

 

Q: What would happen on an 8-bit write to a 16-bit register?

A: The 8 bits are written into the MSB of the 16-bit register.
