C Interface
19Maxim Integrated
Readback of all other registers is not directly supported.
All requests to read unsupported registers read back
the device’s current status and configuration settings as
shown in Table 2. The status register contains information
on the current clear, gate, and load status of the device
(with a one indicating an asserted status), as well as user
configuration settings for the reference, power-down,
AUX mode, and default operation.

C Readback
Operations
While the MAX5803/MAX5804/MAX5805 support
standard I
2
C readback of selected registers, it is also
capable of functioning in an interface verification mode.
This mode is accessed any time a readback operation
follows an executed write mode command. In this mode,
the last executed three-byte command is read back in its
entirety. This behavior allows verification of the interface.
