C-bus and SMBus I/O port with interrupt, 2-kbit EEPROM
7. Functional description
Refer also to Figure 1 “Block diagram of PCA9501”.
7.1 Device addressing
Following a START condition, the bus master must output the address of the slave it is
accessing. The address of the PCA9501 is shown in Figure 6. Internal pull-up resistors
are incorporated on the hardware-selectable address pins.
The last bit of the address byte defines the operation to be performed. When set to logic 1
a read is selected, while a logic 0 selects a write operation.
Remark: Reserved I

C-bus addresses must be used with caution since they can interfere
with:
• Reserved for future use I

C-bus addresses (0000 011, 1111 1xx)
• Slave devices that use the 10-bit addressing scheme (1111 0xx)
• Slave devices that are designed to respond to the General Call address (0000 000)
• Hs-mode master code (0000 1xx)
