Register Description
The Input Port Register (register 0) reflects the incoming logic lev els of the pins, regard-
less of whether the pin if defined as an input or output by the Configur ation Register. They
act only on the red oper ation. Writes to this register ha ve no effect. The default value (X) is
determined by the externally applied logic lev el. Before a red oper ation, a write tr ansmission
is sent with the command byte to indicate to the I
2
C device that the Input P ort Regiser will be
accessed next.

The Onput Port Register (register 1) shows the outgoing logic lev els of the pins defined as
outputs by the Configur ation Register. Bit values in this register ha ve no effect on pins defined
as inputs. In turns, reads from this register reflect the v alue that is in the flip-flop contolling
the output selection, not the actual pin v alue.

The Polarity Inversion Register (register 2) allows polarit y inversion of the pins defined as
inputs by the Configur ation Register. If a bit in this register is set (writ ten with 1), the cor -
responding port pin’s polarity is inverted. If a bit in this register is clear (writ ten with a 0), the
corresponding port pin’s original polarity is retained.

The Configuration Register (register 3) configures the direction of the I/O pins. If a bit in this
register is set to 1, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an input with a high-impedence
output driver. If a bit in this register is cleared to 0, the corresponding port is enabled as an
input.
