PCA9674

PCA9674; PCA9674A Remote 8-bit I/O expander for Fm+ I2C-bus with interrupt Rev. 7 — 30 May 2013 Product data sheet 1. General description The PCA9674/74A provides general-purpose remote I/O expansion via the two-wire bidirectional I2C-bus (serial clock (SCL), serial data (SDA)). The devices consist of eight quasi-bidirectional ports, 1 MHz I2C-bus Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) family interface, with high speed data transfer it can support PWM dimming of LEDs, and higher I2C-bus drive 30 mA for more devices can be on the bus without the need for bus buffers. Three hardware address inputs and interrupt output operating between 2.3 V and 5.5 V. The quasi-bidirectional port can be independently assigned as an input to monitor interrupt status or keypads, or as an output to activate indicator devices such as LEDs. The system master can read from the input port or write to the output port through a single register. The low current consumption of 4.5 A (typical, static) is great for mobile applications and the latched output ports have 25 mA high current sink drive capability for directly driving LEDs. The PCA9674 and PCA9674A are identical except for the different, non-overlapping slave address. The three hardware selectable address pins can be decode to 64 addresses for the PCA9674 and 62 addresses for the PCA9674A, so there can be up to 126 of these I/O expanders PCA9674/74A together on the same I2C-bus without the need for bus buffers, supporting up to 1008 I/Os (for example, 1008 L...
