Typical Application

Figure 9-1 shows an application in which the TCA6424A can be used.

V CCI

  • A. Device address configured as 0100000 for this example.
  • B. P00 and P02-P10 are configured as inputs.
  • C. P01, P11-P17, and P20-P27 are configured as outputs.
  • D. Resistors are required for inputs (on P port) that may float. If a driver to an input will not let the input float, a resistor is not needed. Outputs (in the P port) do not need pullup resistors.
