The state of each switch is sampled through an SPI™ interface by reading the status register and any switch can be prohibited from asserting an interrupt by writing to the command register. Four of the switch inputs are intended for ground-connected switches (IN0–IN3), and the other four inputs (IN4–IN7), are programmable in groups of two for either ground-connected or battery-connected switches. Two switch inputs (IN0, IN1) have direct level-shifted outputs (DO0, DO1) to be used for PWM or other timing-based signals. Switch input thresholds are set to 50% of the voltage applie...
