7.2 Reading the port registers
In order to read data from the PCA9535A, the bus master must first send the PCA9535A
address with the least significant bit set to a logic 0 (see Figure 4 “PCA9535A device
address”). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which register will
be 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 PCA9535A (see Figure 9, Figure 10 and Figure 11). Data is clocked into the
register on the falling edge of the acknowledge 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.
