For humans 100 as maximal value for a register is natural, but hardware usually uses binary representation ("base-2") for values and usually a register (or bit field) is used completely. That is, valid values range beween 0 and 2^n (or 2^n - 1) for some n. Note this discussion isn't really relevant to the driver. Just me wondering about the hardware design. So if you don't want to follow up, that's fine for me. Best regards Uwe
