The last bit of the slave address defines the operation (read or write) to be performed. A high (1) selects a read

operation, while a low (0) selects a write operation.

Following the successful acknowledgment of the address byte, the bus master sends a command byte that is

stored in the control register in the TCA9539. Three bits of this data byte state the operation (read or write) and

the internal register (input, output, Polarity Inversion or Configuration) that will be affected. This register can be

Once a command byte has been sent, the register that was addressed continues to be accessed by reads until a

new command byte has been sent.
