Interface the TCA9535 with LPC55S16 Microcontroller

VIGNESH_BABU — Sat, 20 May 2023 12:09:12 GMT

Hi,

I was using TCA9535(I/O Expander) interface with LPC55S16 microcontroller. We use the I2C communication to communicate with I/O Expander. Set the I2C with given device address,register address and 16 bit data passes through TCA9535.But the I/O Expander can't response with given configuration.

Hi,

I have searched on Google, the TCA9535 is TI product, this is the website of TCA9535:

https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tca9535.pdf?ts=1684719588873&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti.com%252Fproduct%252FTCA9535%253Futm_source%253Dgoogle%2526utm_medium%253Dcpc%2526utm_campaign%253Dasc-null-null-gpn_en-cpc-pf-google-tw%2526utm_content%253Dtca9535%2526ds_k%253DTCA9535%2526dcm%253Dyes%2526gclid%253DEAIaIQobChMIou7VluWH_wIV-JhmAh1SEgnuEAAYASAAEgI0__D_BwE%2526gclsrc%253Daw.ds

The I2C of LPC55S16 is the master, the I2C of the TCA9535 is slave.

The 7 bits I2C slave address is dependent on the A0/A1/A2 pins connection, if the A0/A1/A2 pin are all connected to GND, the I2C address will be 0x20.

If you want to set/clear the Port logic of TCA9535, you have to set the corresponding bit as 0 in configuration register, then write the port logic.

This is the sequence of writing configuration reg:

I2C slave address + configuration register address + configuration register data

In SDK example, there is I2C example.

#define #I2C_MASTER_SLAVE_ADDR_7BI 0x20

#define #I2C_DATA_LENGT 1

deviceAddress=0x06; //configuration reg

g_master_txBuff[0]=0;

/* subAddress = 0x01, data = g_master_txBuff - write to slave.
start + slaveaddress(w) + subAddress + length of data buffer + data buffer + stop*/
uint8_t deviceAddress = 0x01U;
masterXfer.slaveAddress = I2C_MASTER_SLAVE_ADDR_7BIT;
masterXfer.direction = kI2C_Write;
masterXfer.subaddress = (uint32_t)deviceAddress;
masterXfer.subaddressSize = 1;
masterXfer.data = g_master_txBuff;
masterXfer.dataSize = I2C_DATA_LENGTH;
masterXfer.flags = kI2C_TransferDefaultFlag;

Hope it can help you

Hi @xiangjun_rong ,

What if we try in the I2C polling method?.Because I was actually try in the I2C polling method.Where I was got only slave address but not got a register address and the data.

Thank you for the Code flow Mr.@xiangjun_rong

Use a logic analyzer or scope, and check if the slave responds with an ACK to the address.

Hi,

If you use the polling mode, you have to write register and develop the code yourself.
