Product Overview
The NCA9555B is a 24-pin device that provides 16 bits of
General Purpose parallel Input/Output (GPIO) expansion
for the two-line bidirectional I2C bus applications. The
device can operate with a power supply voltage (VDD)
range from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. It provides a simple solution
when additional I/Os are needed for ACPI power switches,
sensors, push buttons, LEDs, fans, etc.
The NCA9555B consists of two 8-bit Configuration (Input
or Output selection); Input, Output and Polarity
Inversion (active HIGH or active LOW operation) registers.
The system master can enable the I/Os as either inputs
or outputs by writing to the I/O configuration bits. The
data for each Input or Output is kept in the
corresponding Input or Output register. The polarity of
the read register can be inverted with the Polarity
Inversion register. All registers can be read by the system
master.
Applications
GPIO expansion for I2C-bus applications
Servers, personal computers, personal electronics

The NCA9555B open-drain interrupt output is activated
when any input state differs from its corresponding input
port register state and is used to indicate to the system
master that an input state has changed. The power-on
reset sets the registers to their default values and
initializes the device state machine.
Pinout
Three hardware pins (A0, A1, A2) vary the fixed I2C-bus
address and allow up to eight devices to share the same
I2C-bus.
