All MCUs provide software configurable GPIO for input and output functions. Figure 2-1 shows an example of an MCU which supports a bidirectional open-drain pin. The example illustrated is perhaps the simplest method to interface the TMP1826 to an MCU since only a bus pullup resistor is required.
Figure 2-2 shows an example of an MCU which supports GPIO with only an input or output function. In such an implementation, a bus pulldown transistor or a push pull to open-drain driver like the SN74LVC1G07 device is required along with the bus pullup resistor.
