Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for TCA9535_I2C-IO, 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 type of device is TCA9535_I2C-IO?

TCA9535_I2C-IO is a Texas Instruments 16-bit I2C SMBus I/O expander. It provides general-purpose parallel input and output expansion using a two-line bidirectional I2C bus or SMBus protocol.

What supply voltage range does this device support?

The recommended supply voltage range is 1.65 V to 5.5 V. The absolute maximum supply voltage rating is -0.5 V to 6 V over the specified operating free-air temperature range.

How many TCA9535 devices can share one bus?

The device has three hardware address pins, A0, A1, and A2. When these pins are connected to VCC or GND, up to eight devices can be addressed.

What is the default I/O state at power-on?

At power-on, all P-port I/Os are configured as inputs. The extracted facts also specify that the device does not include internal I/O pull-up resistors, so unused input pins require external pull-ups or pull-downs.
