DESCRIPTION
The PCA9556 is a silicon CMOS circuit which provides parallel
input/output expansion for SMBus applications. The PCA9556
consists of an 8-bit input port register, 8-bit output port register, and
an SMBus interface. It has low current consumption and a high
impedance open drain output pin, I/O0.
The SMBus system master can reset the PCA9556 in the event of a
timeout by asserting a LOW on the reset input. The SMBus system
master can also invert the PCA9556 inputs by writing to their active
HIGH polarity inversion bits. Finally, the SMBus system master can
enable the PCA9556’s I/Os as either inputs or outputs by writing to
their I/O configuration bits.
The power-on reset sets the registers to their default values and
initializes the SMBus state machine. The RESET pin causes the
same reset/initialization to occur without depowering the part.
