The exposed center pad, if used, must be
connected as a secondary ground or left
electrically open.
This 16-bit I/O expander for the two-line bidirectional bus (I
2
C) is designed for 1.65-V to 5.5-V V
CC
operation. It
provides general-purpose remote I/O expansion for most microcontroller families via the I
2
C interface [serial clock
(SCL), serial data (SDA)].
The TCA9555 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 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 TCA9555 in the event of a timeout or other improper operation by utilizing the
power-on reset feature, which puts the registers in their default state and initializes the I
2
C/SMBus state machine.
The TCA9555 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.
