PCAL9554B; PCAL9554C

Low-voltage 8-bit I2C-bus/SMBus low power I/O port

Functional description

Refer to Figure 1 “Block diagram of PCAL9554B/PCAL9554C”.

6.1 Device address

A2, A1 and A0 are the hardware address package pins and are held to either HIGH

(logic 1) or LOW (logic 0) to assign one of the eight possible slave addresses. The last bit

of the slave address (R/W) defines the operation (read or write) to be performed. A HIGH

(logic 1) selects a read operation, while a LOW (logic 0) selects a write operation.

6.2 Pointer register and command byte

Following the successful acknowledgement of the address byte, the bus master sends a

command byte, which is stored in the Pointer register in the PCAL9554B/PCAL9554C.

Two bits of this data byte state the operation (read or write) and the internal registers

(Input, Output, Polarity Inversion, or Configuration) that will be affected. Bit 6 in

conjunction with the lower three bits of the Command byte are used to point to the

extended features of the device (Agile I/O). This register is write only.
