General description

The NCA9535 provides 16 bits of General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) expansion for

I²C-bus/SMBus applications. It is designed for a wide voltage range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V with

interrupt. Nexperia GPIO expanders provide an elegant solution when additional IOs are

needed while keeping the interconnections to a minimum, for example, in ACPI power switches,

sensors, push buttons, LEDs and fan control. The NCA9535 contains a set of 8 bit input, output,

configuration and polarity inversion registers. At power up all IOs default to inputs. Each IO can be

configured as either input or output by changing the corresponding bit in the configuration register.

The data for each input or output is stored in the corresponding input or output register. The polarity

inversion register can be programmed to invert the polarity of the input register. The NCA9535

has an open-drain interrupt output which is activated when any one of the GPIO changes from its

corresponding input port register state. The power on reset sets the registers to default values and

initializes the device state machine. The NCA9535 has three address pins A0, A1 and A2 which

can be used to configure the I²C bus slave address of the device. It allows up-to eight devices to

share the same I²C-bus/SMBus.
