JAJSN07 July 2022 TCAL9539
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The bus controller first must send the TCAL9539 address with the LSB set to a logic 0 (see Figure 8-6 for device address). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which register is accessed.
After a restart, the device address is sent again, but this time the least significant bit is set to a logic 1. Data from the register defined by the command byte is sent by the TCAL9539 (see Figure 8-10 and Figure 8-11). Data is clocked into the register on the rising edge of the ACK clock pulse. After the first byte is read, additional bytes may be read, but the data now reflects the information in the other register in the pair. For example, if Input Port 1 is read, the next byte read is Input Port 0.There is no limit on the number of data bytes received in one read transmission, but on the final byte received the bus master must not acknowledge the data. After a subsequent restart, the command byte contains the value of the next register to be read in the pair. For example, if Input Port 1 was read last before the restart, the register that is read after the restart is the Input Port 0.
