clock (SCL), serial data (SDA)].

The PCA9535 consists of two 8-bit Configuration (input or output selection), Input Port, Output Port, and Polarity

Inversion (active-high or active-low operation) registers. At power on, the I/Os are configured as inputs. The

system master can enable the I/Os as either inputs or outputs by writing to the I/O configuration bits. The data

for each input or output is kept in the corresponding Input or Output Port register. The polarity of the Input Port

register can be inverted with the Polarity Inversion register. All registers can be read by the system master.

The system master can reset the PCA9535 in the event of a timeout or other improper operation by utilizing the

machine.

The PCA9535 open-drain interrupt (INT) output is activated when any input state differs from its corresponding

Input Port register state and is used to indicate to the system master that an input state has changed.

INT can be connected to the interrupt input of a microcontroller. By sending an interrupt signal on this line, the

remote I/O can inform the microcontroller if there is incoming data on its ports without having to communicate via

The device outputs (latched) have high-current drive capability for directly driving LEDs. The device has low

current consumption.

enhancements.

The PCA9535 is identical to the PCA9555, except for the removal of the internal I/O pullup resistor, which

greatly reduces power consumption when the I/Os are held low.
