TCA9548

Arduino Library for TCA9548 I2C multiplexer.

Description

Library for the TCA9548 and TCA9548a (PCA9548, PCA9548a) I2C multiplexer.

The library allows you to enable 0 to 7 I2C channels (ports) uniquely or simultaneously. This is especially useful if you have multiple devices/sensors that have a fixed address, or you have address conflicts between I2C devices

Warning The library is not tested extensively.

I2C address of the device itself is 0x70 .. 0x77. This address may not be used on any of the I2C channels of course.

The library caches the channels enabled, and if a channel is enabled, it will not be enabled again (low level) to optimize performance.

Compatible devices

This library is expected to work for the PCA9548(a) too as the TCA is pin compatible newer version.

Device Tested Notes
TCA9548s n
PCA9548 n see links below
PCA9548a n

There are however small differences, check the data sheets to see the details.

Interface

#include "TCA9548.h"

Constructor

  • TCA9548(const uint8_t deviceAddress, TwoWire *wire = &Wire) Constructor. deviceAddress = 0x70 .. 0x77, wire = Wire or WireN.
  • bool begin(uint8_t dataPin, uint8_t clockPin, uint8_t mask = 0x00) Set I2C pins for ESP32. Set mask of channels to be enabled, default all disabled.
  • bool begin(uint8_t mask = 0x00) set mask of channels to be enabled, default all disabled.
  • bool isConnected() returns true if address of the multiplexer is found on I2C bus.

Find device

  • bool isConnected(uint8_t address) returns true if arbitrary address is found on I2C bus. This can be used to verify a certain device is available (or not) on an enabled channel.

Channel functions

All "channel functions" return true on success.

  • bool enableChannel(uint8_t channel) enables channel 0 .. 7 non-exclusive. Multiple channels can be enabled in parallel.
  • bool disableChannel(uint8_t channel) disables channel 0 .. 7. Will not disable other channels.
  • bool selectChannel(uint8_t channel) enables a single channel 0 .. 7 exclusive. All other channels will be disabled in the same call, so not before or after.
  • bool isEnabled(uint8_t channel) returns true if the channel is enabled.
  • bool disableAllChannels() fast way to disable all.
  • bool setChannelMask(uint8_t mask) enables 0 or more channels simultaneously with a bit mask.
  • uint8_t getChannelMask() reads back the bit mask of the channels enabled.

Reset

  • void setResetPin(uint8_t resetPin) sets the pin to reset the chip. (Not tested)
  • void reset() trigger the reset pin.
  • int getError() returns the last I2C error.

Forced IO

When forced IO is set all writes and read - getChannelMask() - will go to the device. If the flag is set to false it will cache the value of the channels enabled. This will result in more responsive / faster calls. Note that writes are only optimized if the channels are already set.

  • void setForced(bool forced = false) set forced write, slower but more robust.
    • forced == false == fast mode (default).
    • forced == true == slower, robust mode.
  • bool getForced() returns set flag.

Error Codes

Not implemented yet, preparation for 0.2.0.

name value description
TCA9548_OK 00 no error
TCA9548_ERROR_I2C -10 detected an I2C error
TCA9548_ERROR_CHANNEL -20 channel out of range

Future

Must

  • improve documentation.
  • improve error handling.

Should

  • add examples.
  • test test and test.
  • write unit test.
  • create derived classes for compatible devices (0.2.0).
    • see above PCA9548 and PCA9548a.
  • bool isConnected(channel, address) (0.2.0)
    • keep previous mask?

Could

  • set an "always enabled" mask.
    • investigate the consequences!
