Registers of the MAX521

// MAX521 address register
// 0  1  0  1  0  A1 A0 RW = 0x60,0x61,0x62,0x63
// NOTE Device is believed to be Write Only
// NOTE MAX520 (4 channel) supports an extra address bit:
// 0  1  0  1  A2 A1 A0 RW = 0x60,0x61,0x62,0x63
// MAX521 control register
// 0  0  0 RST PD R2 R1 R0
// RST=1 TO RESET
// PD =1 TO ENTER POWER-DOWN MODE
// R2,R1,R0 = REGISTER SELECT

Notes

  • 0101 address prefix is relatively common, remember to set A1,A0 to avoid collisions
  • LM96080 uses same prefix
