5. Once the right byte has been sent and correctly acknowledged, the master sends a
STOP command to end the Software Reset sequence: the PCA9574 then resets to
the default value (power-up value) and is ready to be addressed again within the
specified bus free time. If the master sends a Repeated START instead, no reset is
performed. The I
2
C-bus master must interpret a non-acknowledge from the PCA9574
(at any time) as a ‘Software Reset Abort’. The PCA9574 does not initiate a software
reset.
7.9 Interrupt output (INT)
The open-drain active LOW interrupt is activated when one of the port pins changes state
and the port pin is configured as an input and the interrupt on it is not masked. The
interrupt is deactivated when the port pin input returns to its previous state or the Input
Port register is read. It is highly recommended to program the MSK register, and the CFG
registers during the initialization sequence after power-up, since any change to them
during Normal mode operation may cause undesirable interrupt events to happen.
Remark: Changing an I/O from an output to an input may cause a false interrupt to occur
if the state of the pin does not match the contents of the Input port register. Only a read of
the Input port register that contains the bit(s) image of the input(s) that generated the
interrupt clears the interrupt condition.
7.10 Standby
The PCA9574 goes into standby when the I
2
C-bus is idle. Standby supply current is lower
than 1.0 A (typical).

8. Characteristics of the I
2
C-bus
The I
2
C-bus is for 2-way, 2-line communication between different ICs or modules. The two
lines are a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). Both lines must be
connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor when connected to the output stages
of a device. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
8.1 Bit transfer
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse as changes in the data line at this time
will be interpreted as control signals (see Figure 7
).
8.1.1 START and STOP conditions
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy. A HIGH-to-LOW
transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START condition (S). A
LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP
condition (P) (see Figure 8
).
8.2 System configuration
A device generating a message is a ‘transmitter’; a device receiving is the ‘receiver’. The
device that controls the message is the ‘master’ and the devices which are controlled by
the master are the ‘slaves’ (see Figure 9
).

8.3 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and the STOP conditions from
transmitter to receiver is not limited. Each byte of eight bits is followed by one
acknowledge bit. The acknowledge bit is a HIGH level put on the bus by the transmitter,
whereas the master generates an extra acknowledge related clock pulse.
A slave receiver which is addressed must generate an acknowledge after the reception of
each byte. Also a master must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte
that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter. The device that acknowledges has to
pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable
LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge related clock pulse; set-up time and hold
time must be taken into account.
A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the
transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP
condition.
