8.6.3 Register Descriptions
The Input Port registers (registers 0 and 1) reflect the incoming logic levels of the pins, regardless of whether the
pin is defined as an input or an output by the Configuration register. It only acts on read operation. Writes to
these registers have no effect. The default value, X, is determined by the externally applied logic level.
Before a read operation, a write transmission is sent with the command byte to indicate to the I²C device that the
Input Port register will be accessed next.

The Output Port registers (registers 2 and 3) show the outgoing logic levels of the pins defined as outputs by the
Configuration register. Bit values in this register have no effect on pins defined as inputs. In turn, reads from this
register reflect the value that is in the flip-flop controlling the output selection, not the actual pin value.

The Polarity Inversion registers (registers 4 and 5) allow Polarity Inversion of pins defined as inputs by the
Configuration register. If a bit in this register is set (written with 1), the corresponding port pin's polarity is
inverted. If a bit in this register is cleared (written with a 0), the corresponding port pin's original polarity is
retained.

The Configuration registers (registers 6 and 7) configure the directions of the I/O pins. If a bit in this register is
set to 1, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an input with a high-impedance output driver. If a bit in this
register is cleared to 0, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an output.

8.6.3.1 Bus Transactions
Data is exchanged between the master and the TCA9539 through write and read commands, and this is
accomplished by reading from or writing to registers in the slave device.
Registers are locations in the memory of the slave which contain information, whether it be the configuration
information or some sampled data to send back to the master. The master must write information to these
registers in order to instruct the slave device to perform a task.
