Interpreting AD7991 outputs

Question

Hi All, 
 
 I'm have a question on AD7991. 
 How should we interpret the data? Is it big endian? little endian? or something other format? 
 Understand that 3 bytes is rather uncommon format. 
 Can anyone give me some advise on this?

Hi LFroze, 
 AD7991 conversion data is big endian. When the I2C Controller reads from the AD7991 conversion result register, the AD7991 outputs the most-significant byte of the conversion result in the first byte, and the least-significant byte in the second byte. 
 Thanks,
