INT is valid. Resetting the interrupt circuit is achieved when data on the port is changed to the original setting,

and data is read from the port that generated the interrupt or in a Stop event. Resetting occurs in the read mode

at the acknowledge (ACK) bit or not acknowledge (NACK) bit after the rising edge of the SCL signal. Interrupts

that occur during the ACK or NACK clock pulse can be lost (or be very short) due to the resetting of the interrupt

during this pulse. Each change of the I/Os after resetting is detected and is transmitted as INT.

Reading from or writing to another device does not affect the interrupt circuit, and a pin configured as an output

cannot cause an interrupt. Changing an I/O from an output to an input may cause a false interrupt to occur if the

state of the pin does not match the contents of the Input Port register.

Data is exchanged between the master and PCA9554 through write and read commands.

Data is transmitted to the PCA9554 by sending the device address and setting the least-significant bit to a logic 0

(see Figure 4 for device address). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which register

receives the data that follows the command byte. There is no limitation on the number of data bytes sent in one

write transmission.
