The PCA9535DBR is a robust, high-performance 16-bit I²C-bus and SMBus I/O expander from Texas Instruments. Designed with versatility in mind, this device provides an ideal solution for expanding the available I/O ports on microcontrollers and microprocessors in a wide range of applications, particularly where board space is at a premium.
Key Features
- Operating power supply voltage range of 2.3V to 5.5V, allowing for flexible integration into various system designs.
- 400 kHz I²C bus interface that is compatible with the I²C-bus Fast-mode and SMBus standards, enabling quick communication with a host controller.
- Offers 16 individual I/O pins that can be configured as either inputs or outputs, providing a scalable solution for systems requiring additional I/O capabilities.
- Each I/O pin can be accessed through a set of input, output, and polarity inversion registers, allowing for sophisticated control and customization of the I/O behavior.
- Features an active-low interrupt output which can be connected to the interrupt logic of the host controller, signaling when an input state has changed.
- Includes built-in power-on reset, which ensures that the I/O expander starts in a known state, simplifying system initialization.
- Comes in a small SSOP-24 package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications.
