What is difference between TCA6408 & TCA6408A?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCA6408A, TCA6408

I need some immediate support regarding a TI I2C GPIO controller; p/n's TCA6408, TCA6408A

Both of these parts appear to be identical regarding the QFN  (RGT) package.

However, on page-12 in each datasheet, there is an electrical difference between the two parts.

TCA6408 - RESETn is referenced to VCCP

TCA6408A - RESETn is referenced to VCCI

 

1) is there an error in either datasheet.

2) are these parts 100% compatible electrically and operationally.

3) which part does TI recommend for NEW designs.
