The last bit of the slave address defines the operation (read or write) to be performed. When it is high (1), a read
is selected while a low (0) selects a write operation.
8.6.2 Control Register and Command Byte
Following the successful Acknowledgment of the address byte, the bus master sends a command byte that is
stored in the control register in the TCA9538 (see Figure 19). Two bits of this command byte state the operation
(read or write) and the internal register (input, output, polarity inversion or configuration) that will be affected. This
register can be written or read through the I²C bus. The command byte is sent only during a write transmission.
Once a command byte has been sent, the register that was addressed continues to be accessed by reads until a
new command byte has been sent.
