i figure it out... i2c address of TCN75A is wrong in Digilent datasheet for Orbit BoosterPack it must be 0x9E instead of 0x4F. I figure it out with I2CU http://developer.mbed.org/users/simon/code/I2CU/file/4f78cdfc99de/main.cpp

This is a common "mistake". An I2C address is 7 bits plus a R/W bit in the LSB. So depending on whether the address is specified as a 7 bit or an 8 bit address it will be written as 0x4F or 0x9E which is 0x4F<<1.
