+Microchip MCP23017 I/O expander with I2C interface
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a set of example captures of the MCP23017 16-bit I/O expander with
+an I2C interface. For details see the MCP23017/MCP23S17 datasheet which is
+titled "16-Bit I/O Expander with Serial Interface":

+
+Logic analyzer setup
+--------------------
+
+The logic analyzer used was a Saleae clone (samplerate 1MHz). In addition
+to the I2C datalines, 6 output pins are captured too.
+
+The host was a Raspberry Pi using Python to access the I2C port. The bitrate
+decreased after a few 100ms.

+mcp23017_counter_a_write.sr
+---------------------------
+
+Count the Registers OLATA ascending. The lowest 6 bits of the Output A Port
+are captured too (A0 - A5).
+
+
+mcp23017_counter_init_ab_write.sr
+---------------------------------
+
+Reset all registers, then count the registers OLATA ascending and OLATB
+descending. Both registers are set using one word write operation. The
+lowest 3 bits of both output ports are captured too (A0 - A2, B0 - B2).
+
+
+mcp23017_counter_init_ab_write_read.sr
+-------------------------------------
+
+Reset all registers, then count the registers OLATA ascending and OLATB
+descending. Both registers are set and read using one word write operations.
+The lowest 3 bits of both output ports are captured too (A0 - A2, B0 - B2).
