REMOTE 16-BIT I C AND SMBus, LOW-POWER I/O EXPANDER
WITH INTERRUPT OUTPUT AND CONFIGURATION REGISTERS
2
SCPS129E – AUGUST 2005 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2007
Register Descriptions
The Input Port registers (registers 0 and 1) reflect the incoming logic levels of the pins, regardless of whether the
pin is defined as an input or an output by the Configuration Register. It only acts on read operation. Writes to
these registers have no effect. The default value, X, is determined by the externally applied logic level.
Before a read operation, a write transmission is sent with the command byte to let the I
2
C device know that the
Input Port registers will be accessed next.

The Output Port registers (registers 2 and 3) show the outgoing logic levels of the pins defined as outputs by the
Configuration register. Bit values in this register have no effect on pins defined as inputs. In turn, reads from this
register reflect the value that is in the flip-flop controlling the output selection, not the actual pin value.

The Polarity Inversion registers (registers 4 and 5) allow polarity inversion of pins defined as inputs by the
Configuration register. If a bit in this register is set (written with 1), the corresponding pin's polarity is inverted. If
a bit in this register is cleared (written with a 0), the corresponding pin's original polarity is retained.

The Configuration registers (registers 6 and 7) configure the directions of the I/O pins. If a bit in this register is
set to 1, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an input with a high-impedance output driver. If a bit in this
register is cleared to 0, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an output.

Power-On Reset
When power (from 0 V) is applied to V
CC
, an internal power-on reset holds the PCA9535 in a reset condition
until V
CC
has reached V
POR
. At that point, the reset condition is released, and the PCA9535 registers and
I
2
C/SMBus state machine initialize to their default states. After that, V
CC
must be lowered to below 0.2 V and
then back up to the operating voltage for a power-reset cycle.
