DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
The TCA6424 consists of three 8-bit Configuration (input or output selection), Input, Output, and Polarity
Inversion (active high) registers. At power on, the I/Os are configured as inputs. However, the system master can
enable the I/Os as either inputs or outputs by writing to the I/O configuration bits. The data for each input or
output is kept in the corresponding input or output register. The polarity of the Input Port register can be inverted
with the Polarity Inversion register. All registers can be read by the system master.
The system master can reset the TCA6424 in the event of a timeout or other improper operation by asserting a
low in the RESET input. The power-on reset puts the registers in their default state and initializes the I
2
C/SMBus
state machine. The RESET pin causes the same reset/initialization to occur without depowering the part.
The TCA6424 open-drain interrupt (INT) output is activated when any input state differs from its corresponding
Input Port register state and is used to indicate to the system master that an input state has changed.
INT can be connected to the interrupt input of a microcontroller. By sending an interrupt signal on this line, the
remote I/O can inform the microcontroller if there is incoming data on its ports without having to communicate via
the I
2
C bus. Thus, the TCA6424 can remain a simple slave device.
The device P-port outputs have high-current sink capabilities for directly driving LEDs while consuming low
device current.
One hardware pin (ADDR) can be used to program and vary the fixed I
2
C address and allow up to two devices to
share the same I
2
C bus or SMBus.
