I C Port Expander with Eight Push-Pull Outputs
and Eight Inputs
General Description
Features
♦ 400kHz, +6V-Tolerant I2C Serial Interface
♦ +1.71V to 5.5V Operating Voltage
♦ Eight Push-Pull Outputs
The MAX7324 2-wire serial-interfaced peripheral fea-
tures 16 I/O ports that are divided into eight push-pull
outputs and eight inputs. Each input features selectable
internal pullups, overvoltage protection to +6V, and
transition detection with an interrupt output.
♦ Eight Input Ports with Maskable, Latching
Transition Detection
All input ports are continuously monitored for state
changes (transition detection). The interrupt is latched,
allowing detection of transient changes. Any combina-
tion of inputs can be selected using the interrupt mask
to assert the INT output. When the MAX7324 is subse-
quently accessed through the serial interface, any
pending interrupt is cleared.
♦ Input Ports are Overvoltage Protected to +6V
♦ Transient Changes are Latched, Allowing
Detection Between Read Operations
♦ INT Output Alerts Change on Any Selection of
Inputs
♦ AD0 and AD2 Inputs Select from 16 Slave
The push-pull outputs are rated to sink 20mA and are
capable of driving LEDs. The RST input clears the serial
interface, terminating any I2C communication to or from
the MAX7324.
Addresses
♦ Low 0.6µA Standby Current
♦ -40°C to +125°C Temperature Range
The MAX7324 uses two address inputs with four-level
logic to allow 16 I2C slave addresses. The slave
address also enables or disables internal 40kΩ pullups
in groups of four ports.
