Scott,

I'm not sure whihc register you are referring to when you say that a register can be used to configure the address. THe TCA8418 has a fixed I2C address as shown in Table 4 of pg 13 of DS. This is 0x69 as you have noted in you message and it cannot be changed.

Thanks,

Akhil.

Thanks.  What's the purpose of the bit 0, if you can't write to it?

Hi..

I am trying to develop driver to access the keypad present on my Am1808 based evm. The keypad controller according to the schematic is
TCA8418.After going through the data sheet for tca8418 , i found that the I2C Slave address is 0110100x. The last bit of the slave address 
determines the operation(read/write)to be performed. 

Please tell me which hex i2c slave address should I mention in my header file i.e
      #define TCA8418_I2C_ADDR     __?__

0110100=0x34

01101000=0x68  (Read-1)

01101001=0x69 (write-0)

Thanks.

Friends,

The I2C slave address for TCA8418 is 0x34 . I am able to access  the registers of tca8418 using this address. !

Please make sure your I2C address you are sending matches the Bit pattern shown on pg 13 of DS. Depending on conventions used, the addres might be considered either 0x34 or 0x68.

Hi Akhil,

I have tried with all the 3 possible address combinations ( among them 0x34 is working fine). But  registers like INT_STAT(0x02), KEY_EVENT_(A-G),KEY_LCK_EC are still 
not accessible . I am using i2c_smbus_read_byte_data ,i2c_smbus_write_byte_data function to read and write to these registers.

Can you please guide, what can be done ?

Regards
Aditya

Aditya,

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the SW functions that you mentions. If you can send me scope shots of the I2C lines when these commands are transmitted I might be able to tell you what the problem is.
