General description
The PCA9538 is a 16-pin CMOS device that provides 8 bits of General Purpose parallel Input/Output (GPIO) expansion with interrupt and reset for I2C-bus/SMBus applications and was developed to enhance the NXP Semiconductors family of I2C-bus I/O expanders. I/O expanders provide a simple solution when additional I/O is needed for ACPI power switches, sensors, push-buttons, LEDs, fans, etc.

FEATUREs
■ 8-bit I2C-bus GPIO with interrupt and reset
■ Operating power supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V
■ 5 V tolerant I/Os
■ Polarity Inversion register
■ Active LOW interrupt output
■ Active LOW reset input
■ Low standby current
■ Noise filter on SCL/SDA inputs
■ No glitch on power-up
■ Internal power-on reset
■ 8 I/O pins which default to 8 inputs
