PCA953x I²C GPIO expander compatibility list
============================================

:Author: Levente Révész <levente.revesz@eilabs.com>

I went through all the datasheets and created this note listing
chip functions and register layouts.

Overview of chips
=================

Chips with the basic 4 registers
--------------------------------

These chips have 4 register banks: input, output, invert and direction.
Each of these banks contains (lines/8) registers, one for each GPIO port.

Banks offset is always a power of 2:

- 4 lines  -> bank offset is 1
- 8 lines  -> bank offset is 1
- 16 lines -> bank offset is 2
- 24 lines -> bank offset is 4
- 32 lines -> bank offset is 4
- 40 lines -> bank offset is 8

For example, register layout of GPIO expander with 24 lines:

+------+-----------------+--------+
| addr | function        | bank   |
+======+=================+========+
|  00  | input port0     |        |
+------+-----------------+        |
|  01  | input port1     | bank 0 |
+------+-----------------+        |
|  02  | input port2     |        |
+------+-----------------+--------+
|  03  | n/a             |        |
+------+-----------------+--------+
|  04  | output port0    |        |
+------+-----------------+        |
|  05  | output port1    | bank 1 |
+------+-----------------+        |
|  06  | output port2    |        |
+------+-----------------+--------+
|  07  | n/a             |        |
+------+-----------------+--------+
|  08  | invert port0    |        |

|  09  | invert port1    | bank 2 |

|  0A  | invert port2    |        |
+------+-----------------+--------+
|  0B  | n/a             |        |

|  0C  | direction port0 |        |

|  0D  | direction port1 | bank 3 |

These Maxim chips have a bus timeout function which can be enabled in
the timeout_en register. This is present in only two chips. Defaults to
timeout disabled.

========== ===== ========= ===== ====== ====== ========= ==========

Chips with additional int_mask register
---------------------------------------

These chips have an interrupt mask register in addition to the 4 basic
registers. The interrupt masks default to all interrupts disabled. To
use interrupts with these chips, the driver has to set the int_mask
register.

========== ===== ========= ===== ====== ====== ========= ========

Chips with additional int_mask and out_conf registers
-----------------------------------------------------

This chip has an interrupt mask register, and an output port
configuration register, which can select between push-pull and
open-drain modes. Each bit controls two lines. Both of these registers
are present in PCAL chips as well, albeit the out_conf works
differently.

========== ===== ========= ===== ====== ====== ========= ======== ========

pca9698 also has a "master output" register for setting all outputs per
port to the same value simultaneously, and a chip specific mode register
for various additional chip settings.

Chips with LED blink and intensity control
------------------------------------------

These Maxim chips have no invert register.

They have two sets of output registers (output0 and output1). An internal
timer alternates the effective output between the values set in these
registers, if blink mode is enabled in the blink register. The
master_intensity register and the intensity registers together define
the PWM intensity value for each pair of outputs.

These chips can be used as simple GPIO expanders if the driver handles the
input, output0 and direction registers.

These chips have several additional features:

    1. output drive strength setting (out_strength)
    2. input latch (in_latch)
    3. pull-up/pull-down (pull_in, pull_sel)
    4. push-pull/open-drain outputs (out_conf)

Currently the driver has support for the input latch, pull-up/pull-down
and uses int_mask and int_status for interrupts.

========== ===== ========= ===== ====== ====== =========

These chips have the full PCAL register set, plus the following functions:

    1. interrupt event selection: level, rising, falling, any edge
    2. clear interrupt status per line
    3. read input without clearing interrupt status
    4. individual output config (push-pull/open-drain) per output line

As can be seen in the table above, pcal6534 does not follow the usual
bank spacing rule. Its banks are closely packed instead.

PCA957X chips with a completely different register layout
---------------------------------------------------------

These chips have the basic 4 registers, but at unusual addresses.

Additionally, they have:

    1. pull-up/pull-down (pull_sel)
    2. a global pull enable, defaults to disabled (config)
    3. interrupt mask, interrupt status (int_mask, int_status)

Overview of functions
=====================

This section lists chip functions that are supported by the driver
already, or are at least common in multiple chips.

Input, Output, Invert, Direction
--------------------------------

The basic 4 GPIO functions are present in all but one chip category, i.e.
`Chips with LED blink and intensity control`_ are missing the invert
register.

3 different layouts are used for these registers:

    1. banks 0, 1, 2, 3 with bank offsets of 2^n
        - all other chips

    2. banks 0, 1, 2, 3 with closely packed banks
        - pcal6534

    3. banks 0, 5, 1, 4 with bank offsets of 2^n
        - pca9574
        - pca9575

Interrupts
----------

Only an interrupt mask register
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The same layout is used for all of these:

    1. bank 5 with bank offsets of 2^n
        - pca9505
        - pca9506
        - pca9698

Interrupt mask and interrupt status registers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These work the same way in all of the chips: mask and status have
one bit per line, 1 in the mask means interrupt enabled.

Layouts:

    1. base offset 0x40, bank 5 and bank 6, bank offsets of 2^n
        - pcal6408
        - pcal6416
        - pcal9535
        - pcal9554b
        - pcal9555a
        - pcal6524

    2. base offset 0x30, bank 5 and 6, closely packed banks
        - pcal6534

    3. bank 6 and 7, bank offsets of 2^n
        - pca9574
        - pca9575

    4. bank 5 and 7, bank offsets of 2^n
        - xra1202

Interrupt on specific edges
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
`PCAL chips with extended interrupt and output configuration functions`_
have an int_edge register. This contains 2 bits per line, one of 4 events
can be selected for each line:

    0: level, 1: rising edge, 2: falling edge, 3: any edge

Layouts:

    1. base offset 0x40, bank 7, bank offsets of 2^n

        - pcal6524

    2. base offset 0x30, bank 7 + offset 0x01, closely packed banks
       (out_conf is 1 byte, not (lines/8) bytes, hence the 0x01 offset)

        - pcal6534

`XRA1202`_ chips have a different mechanism for the same thing: they have
a rising mask and a falling mask, with one bit per line.

Layout:

    1. bank 5, bank offsets of 2^n

Input latch
-----------

Only `Basic PCAL chips`_ and
`PCAL chips with extended interrupt and output configuration functions`_
have this function. When the latch is enabled, the interrupt is not cleared
until the input port is read. When the latch is disabled, the interrupt
is cleared even if the input register is not read, if the input pin returns
to the logic value it had before generating the interrupt. Defaults to latch
disabled.

Currently the driver enables the latch for each line with interrupt
enabled.

    1. base offset 0x40, bank 2, bank offsets of 2^n
        - pcal6408
        - pcal6416
        - pcal9535
        - pcal9554b
        - pcal9555a
        - pcal6524

    2. base offset 0x30, bank 2, closely packed banks
        - pcal6534

Pull-up and pull-down
---------------------

`Basic PCAL chips`_ and
`PCAL chips with extended interrupt and output configuration functions`_
use the same mechanism: their pull_en register enables the pull-up or pull-down
function, and their pull_sel register chooses the direction. They all use one
bit per line.

    0: pull-down, 1: pull-up

Layouts:

    1. base offset 0x40, bank 3 (en) and 4 (sel), bank offsets of 2^n
        - pcal6408
        - pcal6416
        - pcal9535
        - pcal9554b
        - pcal9555a
        - pcal6524

    2. base offset 0x30, bank 3 (en) and 4 (sel), closely packed banks
        - pcal6534

`PCA957X chips with a completely different register layout`_ have a pull_sel
register with one bit per line, and a global pull_en bit in their config
register.

Layout:

    1. bank 2 (config), bank 3 (sel), bank offsets of 2^n
        - pca9574
        - pca9575

`XRA1202`_ chips can only pull-up. They have a pullup_en register.

Layout:

    1. bank 4, bank offsets of 2^n
        - xra1202

Push-pull and open-drain
------------------------

`Chips with additional int_mask and out_conf registers`_ have this function,
but only for select IO ports. Register has 1 bit per 2 lines. In pca9698,
only port0 and port1 have this function.

    0: open-drain, 1: push-pull

Layout:

    1. base offset 5*bankoffset
        - pca9698

`Basic PCAL chips`_ have 1 bit per port in one single out_conf register.
Only whole ports can be configured.

    0: push-pull, 1: open-drain

Layout:

    1. base offset 0x4F
        - pcal6408
        - pcal6416
        - pcal9535
        - pcal9554b
        - pcal9555a

`PCAL chips with extended interrupt and output configuration functions`_
can set this for each line individually. They have the same per-port out_conf
register as `Basic PCAL chips`_, but they also have an indiv_out_conf register
with one bit per line, which inverts the effect of the port-wise setting.

    0: push-pull, 1: open-drain

Layouts:

    1. base offset 0x40 + 7*bankoffset (out_conf),
       base offset 0x60, bank 4 (indiv_out_conf) with bank offset of 2^n

        - pcal6524

    2. base offset 0x30 + 7*banksize (out_conf),
       base offset 0x54, bank 4 (indiv_out_conf), closely packed banks

        - pcal6534

This function is currently not supported by the driver.

Output drive strength
---------------------

Only PCAL chips have this function. 2 bits per line.
