 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.

+MAX6874 chips can have four different addresses (as opposed to only two for

 See the datasheet for details on how to program the EEPROM.
