Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCA8418
Hi,
Reading the datasheet for TCA9535 it states that:
Resetting occurs in the read mode at the acknowledge (ACK) bit after the rising edge of the SCL signal. Note that the INT is reset at the ACK just before the byte of changed data is sent. Interrupts that occur during the ACK clock pulse can be lost (or be very short) because of the resetting of the interrupt during this pulse. Each change of the I/Os after resetting is detected and is transmitted as INT.
Unfortunately for our application we cannot afford to loose any interrupts however small. I suggested that our software, once an interrupt had occured and the had been read (and interrupt cleared) that the software could then do a second read to make sure there was not another change. This however would only be an option if that if there is no interrupt, and the io register value is read, that during the ACK of that read, an interrupt could be actioned. Is this the case? or is it that any value change during the ACK irrespective of the interrupt state would be lost?
If this device is no good for us, can you recommend another that has no chance of missing any interrupts?
Thanks.
