Page 9: I2C-Bus
PCAL6524EV-ARD evaluation board 4.6 I C-bus The PCAL6524EV-ARD board communicates with the host through an I C-bus (pin A3 – SCL, pin A2 – SDA). The communication provides internal configuration of the I/ O expander, reads the logic levels of the I/O pins configured as inputs, and sets the logic level on the I/O pins configured as outputs. -
