Extended Register Access

To read and write registers in extended register space, refer to the following procedures:

Write procedure for MMD "1F" registers:

write reg<000D> = 0x001F

write reg<000E> = <address>

write reg<000D> = 0x401F

write reg<000E> = <value>

Read procedure for MMD "1F" registers:

write reg<000D> = 0x001F

write reg<000E> = <address>

write reg<000D> = 0x401F

read reg<000E>

Note: To read/write MMD "1" registers, replace 1F with 01.
