Product specification

PCF8574

7.2 Interrupt output

The PCF8574 provides an open-drain output (INT) which

can be fed to a corresponding input of the microcontroller

(see Figs 13 and 14). This gives these chips a type of

master function which can initiate an action elsewhere in

the system.

An interrupt is generated by any rising or falling edge of the

port inputs in the input mode. After time tiv the signal INT is

valid.

Resetting and reactivating the interrupt circuit is achieved

when data on the port is changed to the original setting or

data is read from or written to the port which has generated

the interrupt.

Resetting occurs as follows:

• In the READ mode at the acknowledge bit after the rising

edge of the SCL signal

• In the WRITE mode at the acknowledge bit after the

HIGH-to-LOW transition of the SCL signal

• Interrupts which occur during the acknowledge clock

pulse may be lost (or very short) due to the resetting of

the interrupt during this pulse.

Each change of the I/Os after resetting will be detected

and, after the next rising clock edge, will be transmitted as

INT. Reading from or writing to another device does not

affect the interrupt circuit.

7.3 Quasi-bidirectional I/Os

A quasi-bidirectional I/O can be used as an input or output

without the use of a control signal for data direction

(see Fig.15). At power-on the I/Os are HIGH. In this mode

only a current source to VDD is active. An additional strong

pull-up to VDD allows fast rising edges into heavily loaded

outputs. These devices turn on when an output is written

HIGH, and are switched off by the negative edge of SCL.

The I/Os should be HIGH before being used as inputs.
