+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.

+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.
