| MAX521 Driver |

This is a simple driver for the Maxim MAX521 8 channel digital to analogue converter (DAC). It assumes that I2C has been set up elsewhere in your program.

///
/// CCS C Driver for the Maxim MAX521 Octal DAC with 2-wire serial interface
/// (I2C compatible).
///
/// Stuart Hunter 28/04/2006
///
/// Comments:
///
/// Functions:
///
/// max521_init()
/// Call this function before using the device, and whenever you need to reset
/// the chip AND driver.
///
/// max521_reset()
/// Call this function to reset the DAC chip only.
///
/// max521_power_mode( int1 mode )
/// Call this to set normal or low power/standby operation. In standby mode, all
/// DAC outputs are floating and current consumption is reduced to around 4uA.
/// mode == MAX521_NORMAL or MAX521_STANDBY
/// Note: this setting will persist until the function is called again (or the
/// driver is reset with a max521_init() call ). The device and driver initialises
/// in the MAX521_NORMAL state.
///
/// max521_write_single_dac( int8 dac, int8 value )
/// Call this to immediately update a single specified DAC (0-7) with the supplied
/// value.
/// dac == DAC number, 0 to 7
/// value == DAC output value, 0 to 255
///
/// max521_load_dac( int8 dac, int8 value )
/// Call this to preload a specified DAC with the supplied value. This function
/// stores the value locally in the driver and does not pass it to the DAC
/// immediately. This is useful if you want all DAC outputs to change
/// simultaneously.
///
/// max521_write_dac()
/// Writes preloaded data to all DACs in the device. Only individual DACs which have
/// been preloaded since the last call to this function are updated. All affected
/// DAC outputs change simultaneously.
///
/// None of these functions returns anyhing; they are all of type void.
