NXP PCA9574PW,112 I/O Expander

The PCA9574PW,112 is a robust I/O expander from NXP Semiconductors designed to provide additional input/output (I/O) ports for microcontrollers and microprocessors in a system. This particular device is part of the PCA9574 series and is especially suitable for applications where additional I/Os are needed but the number of pins on the microcontroller is limited.

Key Features:

• 8-bit I/O Expander: The PCA9574PW,112 extends the I/O capabilities of your system by providing an additional 8 I/Os that can be configured as either inputs or outputs.
• I2C-bus Interface: It utilizes a two-wire I2C-bus interface, which supports serial clock speeds up to 400 kHz, allowing for easy integration into your existing I2C-bus architecture.
• Low Standby Current: This device is optimized for low power consumption, featuring a low standby current which is ideal for power-sensitive applications.
• Wide Operating Voltage: The PCA9574PW,112 operates within a voltage range of 2.3V to 5.5V, making it versatile for use in various systems with different power requirements.
• Interrupt Output: An interrupt output is available, which can be configured to alert the host microcontroller of input changes, thus reducing the need for constant polling and saving power.
• Polarity Inversion: Input polarity inversion is supported, allowing for easy adaptation to systems where the logic levels are inverted.
• Packaging: The device comes in a TSSOP16 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package), which is suitable for space-constrained applications.
