- Kernel driver max6875
- =====================
- Supported chips:
- * Maxim max6874, max6875
- Prefixes: 'max6875'
- Addresses scanned: 0x50, 0x52
- Datasheets:
- http://pdfserv.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/MAX6874-MAX6875.pdf
- Author: Ben Gardner <bgardner@wabtec.com>
- Module Parameters
- -----------------
- * allow_write int
- Set to non-zero to enable write permission:
- *0: Read only
- 1: Read and write
- Description
- -----------
- The MAXIM max6875 is a 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
- registers. The chip then begins to operate according to the values in the
- registers.
- See the datasheet for details on how to program the EEPROM.
- Sysfs entries
- -------------
- eeprom_user - 512 bytes of user-defined EEPROM space. Only writable if
- allow_write was set and register 0x43 is 0.
- eeprom_config - 70 bytes of config EEPROM. Note that changes will not get
- loaded into register space until a power cycle or device reset.
- reg_config - 70 bytes of register space. Any changes take affect immediately.
- General Remarks
- ---------------
- A typical application will require that the EEPROMs be programmed once and
- never altered afterwards.
