8.6.4.1 Writes

Data is transmitted to the TCA6416A by sending the device address and setting the least-significant bit (LSB) to a logic 0 (see Figure 8-6 for device address). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which register receives the data that follows the command byte. There is no limitation on the number of data bytes sent in one write transmission.

The eight registers within the TCA6416A are configured to operate as four register pairs. The four pairs are input ports, output ports, polarity inversion ports and configuration ports. After sending data to one register, the next data byte is sent to the other register in the pair (see Figure 8-8 and Figure 8-9). For example, if the first byte is send to Output Port 1 (register 3), the next byte is stored in Output Port 0 (register 2).

There is no limitation on the number of data bytes sent in one write transmission. In this way, each 8-bit register may be updated independently of the other registers.
