9.2.5 I2C-bus controller
The PCA8538 acts as an I2C-bus slave receiver. It does not initiate I2C-bus transfers. The
only data output from PCA8538 is the acknowledge signals and the temperature readout
byte of the selected device.
9.2.6 Input filters
To enhance noise immunity in electrically adverse environments, RC low-pass filters are
provided on the SDA and SCL lines.
9.2.7 I2C-bus slave address
Device selection depends on the I2C-bus slave address.

Bit 1 and bit 2 of the slave address are defined by connecting the inputs SA0 and SA1 to
either VSS1 (logic 0) or VDD1 (logic 1). Therefore, four instances of PCA8538 can be
distinguished on the same I2C-bus.
