The address pin states are checked at POR and SPOR
only, and the address data stays latched to reduce qui-
escent supply current due to the bias current needed
for high-Z state detection.

The SPOR software POR command can force a power-on
reset of the MAX1617A registers via the serial interface.
Use the SEND BYTE protocol with COMMAND = FCh.
This is most commonly used to reconfigure the slave
address of the MAX1617A “on the fly,” where external
hardware has forced new states at the ADD0 and ADD1
address pins prior to the software POR. The new address
takes effect less than 100µs after the SPOR transmission
stop condition.
Address select pins are sampled.
ADC begins auto-converting at a 0.25Hz rate.
