9.1 Application Information
Applications of the TCA6408A-Q1 has this device connected as a slave to an I2C master (processor), and the I2C
bus may contain any number of other slave devices. The TCA6408A-Q1 is in a remote location from the master,
placed close to the GPIOs to which the master needs to monitor or control.
A typical application of the TCA6408A-Q1 operates with a lower voltage on the master side (VCCI), and a higher
voltage on the P-port side (VCCP). The P-ports can be configured as outputs connected to inputs of devices such
as enable, reset, power select, the gate of a switch, and LEDs. The P-ports can also be configured as inputs to
receive data from interrupts, alarms, status outputs, or push buttons.
