The TCAL9539 device provides general purpose parallel input/output (I/O) expansion for the two-line bidirectional I2C bus (or SMBus) protocol and is designed for 1.08-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.
The device supports 100-kHz (Standard-mode), 400-kHz (Fast-mode), and 1-MHz (fast-mode-plus) I2C clock frequencies. I/O expanders such as the TCAL9539 provide a simple solution when additional I/Os are needed for switches, sensors, push-buttons, LEDs, fans, and so on.
The TCAL9539 has Agile I/O ports which include additional features designed to enhance the I/O performance in terms of speed, power consumption and EMI. The additional features are: programmable output drive strength, programmable pull-up and pull-down resistors, latchable inputs, maskable interrupt, interrupt status register, and programmable open-drain or push-pull outputs.

The IO expander evaluation module (EVM) lets you evaluate TI's portfolio of SMBus and I2C IO expander line devices. The TCA6424A and TCA9539 come installed on the board. The 24-pin TSSOP footprint also supports TCA6408A, TCA6416A, TCA9534, TCA9534A, TCA9535, TCA9538, TCA9554, TCA9554A and TCA9555.
This reference design presents a four-quadrant discrete floating Voltage and Current (VI) design. Voltage output supports ±40V and 0V to 80V ranges, with three current ranges of 500mA, 10mA, and 10μA. The design operates on force voltage (FV), force current (FI), Buffer, and Gang mode with analog (...)
