4.3 Block diagram
shows a block diagram of the PCAL6524EV-ARD daughterboard. Alongside the
DUT (U1), the board includes a series of peripherals that assures the operation of the
board. U1 is linked to Arduino interface (J1 to J4) through two busses: the I

C-bus and
the control bus.
The port P0 and P1 (8-bit wide each) controls the four-digit LED display (D9 to D12)
located on the board, through the MAX V CPLD which acts as display decoder/driver. Al
sixteen I/O lines are shared with the 16 BIT I/O PORT (J6).
The port P2 (8-bit wide) is shared with the on-board user LEDs D5 to D8, user switches
SW1 to SW4, and the 8 BIT I/O PORT (J7). The first four LSB I/O lines of the port P2
