DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

The TCA6424 consists of three 8-bit Configuration (input or output selection), Input, Output, and Polarity

Inversion (active high) registers. At power on, the I/Os are configured as inputs. However, 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 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 TCA6424 in the event of a timeout or other improper operation by asserting a

state machine. The RESET pin causes the same reset/initialization to occur without depowering the part.

The TCA6424 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 P-port outputs have high-current sink capabilities for directly driving LEDs while consuming low

device current.
