 The NE1619 presents some differences with the original ADM1025:
-  * Only two possible addresses (0x2c - 0x2d), although we don't care.
+  * Only two possible addresses (0x2c - 0x2d).
   * No temperature offset register, but we don't use it anyway.
   * No INT mode for pin 16. We don't play with it anyway.
-No separate prefix was added for the NE1619, it just wasn't worth it.
