Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
The PCF8574(A) is an 8-bit I/O expander for the I2C bus produced by Philips
|
|
Semiconductors. It is designed to provide a byte I2C interface to up to 16
|
|
separate devices (8 x PCF8574 and 8 x PCF8574A).
|
|
|
|
This device consists of a quasi-bidirectional port. Each of the eight I/Os
|
|
can be independently used as an input or output. To setup an I/O as an
|
|
input, you have to write a 1 to the corresponding output.
|
|
|
|

Accessing PCF8574(A) via /sys interface
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
! Be careful !
|
|
The PCF8574(A) is plainly impossible to detect ! Stupid chip.
|
|
So every chip with address in the interval [20..27] and [38..3f] are
|
|
detected as PCF8574(A). If you have other chips in this address
|
|
range, the workaround is to load this module after the one
|
|
for your others chips.
|
|
|
|
On detection (i.e. insmod, modprobe et al.), directories are being
|
|
created for each detected PCF8574(A):
|
|
|
|
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/<0>-<1>/
|
|
where <0> is the bus the chip was detected on (e. g. i2c-0)
|
|
and <1> the chip address ([20..27] or [38..3f]):
|
|
|
|
(example: /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0020/)
|
|
|
|
Inside these directories, there are two files each:
|
|
read and write (and one file with chip name).
|
|
|
|
The read file is read-only. Reading gives you the current I/O input
|
|
if the corresponding output is set as 1, otherwise the current output
|
|
value, that is to say 0.
|
|
|
|
The write file is read/write. Writing a value outputs it on the I/O
|
|
port. Reading returns the last written value.
|
|
|
|
On module initialization the chip is configured as eight inputs (all
|
|
outputs to 1), so you can connect any circuit to the PCF8574(A) without
|
|
being afraid of short-circuit.
