PCAL9539A

16-bit I2C-bus and SMBus low power I/O port with interrupt and reset

7.2 Reading the port registers

In order to read data from the PCAL9539A, the bus master must first send the

PCAL9539A address with the least significant bit set to a logic 0 (see Figure 4

“PCAL9539A device address”). The command byte is sent after the address and

determines which register will be accessed. After a restart, the device address is sent

again, but this time the least significant bit is set to a logic 1. Data from the register

defined by the command byte is sent by the PCAL9539A (see Figure 9, Figure 10 and

Figure 11). Data is clocked into the register on the falling edge of the acknowledge clock

pulse. After the first byte is read, additional bytes may be read but the data now reflects

the information in the other register in the pair. For example, if Input Port 1 is read, the

next byte read is Input Port 0. There is no limit on the number of data bytes received in

one read transmission, but on the final byte received the bus master must not

acknowledge the data.

After a subsequent restart, the command byte contains the value of the next register to be

read in the pair. For example, if Input Port 1 was read last before the restart, the register

that is read after the restart is the Input Port 0.

Remark: Transfer can be stopped at any time by a STOP condition.
