The PCA9557 is a silicon CMOS circuit which provides parallel input/output expansion for
SMBus and I
2C-bus applications. The PCA9557 consists of an 8-bit input port register,
8-bit output port register, and an I
2C-bus/SMBus interface. It has low current consumption
and a high-impedance open-drain output pin, IO0.
The system master can enable the PCA9557’s I/O as either input or output by writing to
the con?guration register. The system master can also invert the PCA9557 inputs by
writing to the active HIGH polarity inversion register. Finally, the system master can reset
the PCA9557 in the event of a time-out by asserting a LOW in the reset input.
The power-on reset puts the registers in their default state and initializes the
I
2C-bus/SMBus state machine. The RESET pin causes the same reset/initialization to
occur without de-powering the part.
