+Description
+-----------
+
+The MAX127 is a multirange, 12-bit data acquisition system (DAS) providing
+8 analog input channels that are independently software programmable for
+a variety of ranges. The available ranges are {0,5V}, {0,10V}, {-5,5V}
+and {-10,10V}.
+
+The MAX127 features a 2-wire, I2C-compatible serial interface that allows
+communication among multiple devices using SDA and SCL lines.

+ in[0-7]_min The lower input limit (in mV) for the corresponding channel.
+ ADC range and LSB will be updated when the limit is changed.
+ For the MAX127, it will be adjusted to -10000, -5000, or 0.
+ RW
