Hi team,

Customer has a requirement to put all pin into output open drain.

I am check register 0x4F, but not able to understand meaning well, there's only bit-0 can be modified.

Does this bit affect from P0 - P7? Or only P0?

I am also checking the thread below, does this device need to make the same setting as mentioned from the thread?

The datasheet says: "The output port configuration register selects port-wise push-pull or open-drain I/O stage."

Here, "port" means all eight pins.

Hi Oliver,

I agree with Clemens. Register 0x4F only represents 1 bit ODEN-0. This bit is associated with a single port either port 0 which contains eight separate p-port GPIOs (P0 - P7).
