linux下i2c与pca9555通信,PCA9555 16bit I2C-bus and SMBu

The PCA9555 is a 24-pin CMOS device that provides 16 bits of General Purpose parallel

Input/Output (GPIO) expansion for I2C-bus/SMBus applications and was developed to

enhance the NXP Semiconductors family of I2C-bus I/O expanders. The improvements

include higher drive capability, 5 V I/O tolerance, lower supply current, individual I/O

configuration, and smaller packaging. I/O expanders provide a simple solution when

additional I/O is needed for ACPI power switches, sensors, push buttons, LEDs, fans, etc.

The PCA9555 consists of two 8-bit Configuration (Input or Output selection); Input, Output

and Polarity Inversion (active HIGH or active LOW operation) registers. 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 read register can be inverted with the Polarity Inversion

register. All registers can be read by the system master. Although pin-to-pin and I2C-bus

address compatible with the PCF8575, software changes are required due to the

enhancements, and are discussed in Application Note AN469.
