The MAXIM max6875 is a EEPROM-programmable power-supply sequencer/supervisor.
|
||||
The Maxim MAX6875 is an EEPROM-programmable power-supply sequencer/supervisor.
|
||||
It provides timed outputs that can be used as a watchdog, if properly wired.
|
||||
It also provides 512 bytes of user EEPROM.
|
||||
|
||||
At reset, the max6875 reads the configuration eeprom into its configuration
|
||||
At reset, the MAX6875 reads the configuration EEPROM into its configuration
|
||||
registers. The chip then begins to operate according to the values in the
|
||||
registers.
|
||||
|
||||
The Maxim MAX6874 is a similar, mostly compatible device, with more intputs
|
||||
and outputs:
|
||||
|
||||
vin gpi vout
|
||||
MAX6874 6 4 8
|
||||
MAX6875 4 3 5
|
||||
|
||||
MAX6874 chips can have four different addresses (as opposed to only two for
|
||||
the MAX6875). The additional addresses (0x54 and 0x56) are not probed by
|
||||
this driver by default, but the probe module parameter can be used if
|
||||
needed.
|
||||
|
||||
See the datasheet for details on how to program the EEPROM.
