Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for PCA9535, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For analog and signal-chain sourcing, supply voltage, bandwidth, accuracy, noise level, package, temperature grade, input/output configuration and qualification requirements should be verified before approval.

FAQ

What interface does the PCA9535 use for host communication?

The PCA9535 communicates over an I2C and SMBus two-line bidirectional bus using SCL and SDA. The extracted datasheet facts specify Fast I2C bus operation at 400 kHz.

How many PCA9535 devices can share one I2C bus?

The PCA9535 has three hardware address inputs, A0, A1, and A2. Using those address pins, the extracted facts specify a maximum of eight devices on one bus.

What state are the PCA9535 I/O ports in at power on?

At power on, the PCA9535 I/O ports default to inputs. The device also provides configuration, input port, output port, and polarity inversion registers organized as two 8-bit registers for each function.
