Remote 16-bit I/O expander for I2C-bus
PCF8575
1
FEATURES
• Operating supply voltage 2.5 to 5.5 V
• Low standby current consumption of 10 µA maximum
• I2C-bus to parallel port expander
• 400 kbits/s FAST I2C-bus
The device consists of a 16-bit quasi-bidirectional port and
an I2C-bus interface. The PCF8575 has a low current
consumption and includes latched outputs with high
current drive capability for directly driving LEDs. It also
possesses an interrupt line (INT) which can be connected
to the interrupt logic of the microcontroller. By sending an
interrupt signal on this line, the remote I/O can inform the
microcontroller if there is incoming data on its ports without
having to communicate via the I2C-bus. This means that
the PCF8575 is an I2C-bus slave transmitter/receiver.
• Open-drain interrupt output
• 16-bit remote I/O port for the I2C-bus
• Compatible with most microcontrollers
• Latched outputs with high current drive capability for
directly driving LEDs
• Address by 3 hardware address pins for use of up to
8 devices
• SSOP24 package.
Every data transmission from the PCF8575 must consist
of an even number of bytes, the first byte will be referred
to as P07 to P00 and the second byte as P17 to P10.
The third will be referred to as P07 to P00 and so on.
