CAT9554, CAT9554A
PIN DESCRIPTION
SCL: Serial Clock
A0, A1, A2: Device Address Inputs
Theseinputsareusedforextendedaddressingcapability.
The A0, A1, A2 pins should be hardwired to VCC or VSS.
When hardwired, up to eight CAT9554/9554As may be
addressed on a single bus system. The levels on these
inputs are compared with corresponding bits, A2, A1, A0,
from the slave address byte.
The serial clock input clocks all data transferred into or
outofthedevice. TheSCLlinerequiresapull-upresistor
if it is driven by an open drain output.
SDA: Serial Data/Address
I/O0 to I/O7: Input / Output Ports
The bidirectional serial data/address pin is used to
transfer all data into and out of the device. The SDA pin
is an open drain output and can be wire-ORed with other
open drain or open collector outputs. A pull-up resistor
must be connected from SDA line to Vcc. The value of
the pull-up resistor, RP, can be calculated based on
minimumandmaximumvaluesfromFigure2andFigure
3 (see Note).
Any of these pins may be configured as input or output.
The simplified schematic of I/O0 to I/O7 is shown in
Figure 4. When an I/O is configured as an input, the Q1
and Q2 output transistors are off creating a high
impedanceinputwithaweakpull-upresistor(typical100
kΩ). If the I/O pin is configured as an output, the push-
pull output stage is enabled. Care should be taken if an
external voltage is applied to an I/O pin configured as an
outputduetothelowimpedancepathsthatexistbetween
the pin and either VCC or VSS.

Note: According to the Fast Mode I2C bus specification, for bus capacitance up to 200pF, the pull up device
can be a resistor. For bus loads between 200pF and 400pF, the pull-up device can be a current source
(Imax = 3mA) or a switched resistor circuit.
