C-bus with interrupt and reset
3. Software code:
//System Power on
// write to PCA9672 with data 1010 0011b to set P[7:2] outputs and P[1:0] inputs
<S> <0100 0000> <ACK> <1010 0011> <ACK> <P>//Initial setting for PCA9672
while (INT == 1); //Monitor the interrupt pin. If INT = 1 do nothing
//When INT = 0 then read input ports
<S> <slave address read> <ACK> <1010 0010> <NACK> <P> //Read PCA9672 data
If (P0 == 0) //Temperature sensor activated
{
// write to PCA9672 with data 0010 1011b to turn on LED (P7), on Switch (P3)
and keep P[1:0] as input ports.
<S> <0100 0000> <ACK> <0010 1011> <ACK> <P> // Write to PCA9672
}
10.3 High current-drive load applications
The GPIO has a minimum guaranteed sinking current of 25 mA per bit at 5 V. In
applications requiring additional drive, two port pins may be connected together to sink up
to 50 mA current. Both bits must then always be turned on or off together. Up to 8 pins can
be connected together to drive 200 mA, which is the device recommended total limit.
Each pin needs its own limiting resistor as shown in Figure 21
to prevent damage to the
device should all ports not be turned on at the same time.
10.4 Migration path
NXP offers newer, more capable drop-in replacements for the PCF8574/74A in newer
space-saving packages.
