+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.
+
+Sysfs interface

+  ============== ==============================================================
+  in[0-7]_input  The input voltage (in mV) of the corresponding channel.
+		 RO
+
+  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
+
+  in[0-7]_max    The higher 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 0, 5000, or 10000.
