below. The structure shows the high and low byte of each data word
(word
= 2 bytes). Data is always transmitted with the low byte of each
data word first and then the high byte. In the command explanations
below, MSB stands for Most Significant Bit, and LSB stands for
Least Significant Bit.

• CMD
Byte 0 specifies the command to perform.
Bits 0, 1, 2 and 3 of the CMD byte contain the command code.
The options are:
– 0001(01H) = Unprotected Read Command
– 1000 (08H) = Unprotected Write Command
– 0110 (06H) = Diagnostic Command
Bit 6 is cleared (0) for the command and set (1) for the reply.
Bit 4, 5, and 7 are always zero.
To send an unprotected write command, CMD byte 0 would look
like this:
