3 Description
The TCA9538 is a 16-pin device that provides 8 bits
of general purpose parallel input/output (I/O)
expansion for the two-line bidirectional I2C bus (or
SMBus) protocol. The device can operate with a
power supply voltage ranging from 1.65 V to 5.5 V.
The device supports both 100-kHz (Standard-mode)
and 400-kHz (Fast-mode) clock frequencies. I/O
expanders such as the TCA9538 provide a simple
solution when additional I/Os are needed for
switches, sensors, push-buttons, LEDs, fans, etc.
The features of the TCA9538 include an interrupt that
is generated on the INT pin whenever an input port
changes state. The A0 and A1 hardware selectable
address pins allow up to four TCA9538 devices on
the same I2C bus. The device can also be reset to its
default sate by using the RESET feature or by cycling
the power supply and causing a power-on reset.
