Reads

The bus master first must send the TCA9538 address with the LSB set to a logic 0 (see Figure 18 for device

address). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which register is accessed. After a restart,

the device address is sent again but, this time, the LSB is set to a logic 1. Data from the register defined by the

command byte then is sent by the TCA9538 (see Figure 22 and Figure 23). After a restart, the value of the

register defined by the command byte matches the register being accessed when the restart occurred. Data is

clocked into the register on the rising edge of the ACK clock pulse. There is no limitation on the number of data

bytes received in one read transmission, but when the final byte is received, the bus master must not

acknowledge the data.

<br/>

A.

This figure assumes the command byte has previously been programmed with 00h.

B.

Transfer of data can be stopped at any moment by a Stop condition.

C.

This figure eliminates the command byte transfer, a restart, and slave address call between the initial slave address

call and actual data transfer from the P port. See Figure 22 for these details.
