8.6.3.1 Bus Transactions
Data is exchanged between the master and TCA9538 through write and read commands.
8.6.3.1.1 Writes
Data is transmitted to the TCA9538 by sending the device address and setting the least-significant bit (LSB) to a
logic 0 (see Figure 18 for device address). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which
register receives the data that follows the command byte (see Figure 20 and Figure 21). There is no limitation on
the number of data bytes sent in one write transmission.
