Low-voltage, 8-bit I2C-bus and SMBus I/O expander

7.6 Power-on reset

When power (from 0 V) is applied to VDD(P), an internal power-on reset holds the

PCA6408A in a reset condition until VDD(P) has reached VPOR. At that time, the reset

condition is released and the PCA6408A registers and I2C-bus/SMBus state machine

initialize to their default states. After that, VDD(P) must be lowered to below VPORF and

back up to the operating voltage for a power-reset cycle. See Section 9.2 âPower-on reset

requirementsâ.

7.7 Reset input (RESET)

The RESET input can be asserted to initialize the system while keeping the VDD(P) at its

operating level. A reset can be accomplished by holding the RESET pin LOW for a

minimum of tw(rst). The PCA6408A registers and I2C-bus/SMBus state machine are

changed to their default state once RESET is LOW (0). When RESET is HIGH (1), the I/O

levels at the P port can be changed externally or through the master. This input requires a

pull-up resistor to VDD(I2C-bus) if no active connection is used.

7.8 Interrupt output (INT)

An interrupt is generated by any rising or falling edge of the port inputs in the Input mode.

After time tv(INT), the signal INT is valid. Resetting the interrupt circuit is achieved when

data on the port is changed to the original setting or when data is read from the port that

generated the interrupt (see Figure 11). Resetting occurs in the Read mode at the

acknowledge (ACK) or not acknowledge (NACK) bit after the rising edge of the SCL

signal. Interrupts that occur during the ACK or NACK clock pulse can be lost (or be very

short) due to the resetting of the interrupt during this pulse. Each change of the I/Os after

resetting is detected and is transmitted as INT.

A pin configured as an output cannot cause an interrupt. Changing an I/O from an output

to an input may cause a false interrupt to occur, if the state of the pin does not match the

contents of the Input port register.

The INT output has an open-drain structure and requires a pull-up resistor to VDD(P) or

VDD(I2C-bus) depending on the application. INT should be connected to the voltage source

of the device that requires the interrupt information.
