2-Wire-Interfaced, 2.5V to 5.5V, 20-Port or
28-Port I/O Expander
MAX730
General Description
Features
The MAX7300 compact, serial-interfaced, I/O expan-
sion peripheral provides microprocessors with up to 28
ports. Each port is individually user configurable to
either a logic input or logic output.
o 400kbps I2C-Compatible Serial Interface
o 2.5V to 5.5V Operation
o -40°C to +125°C Temperature Range
o 20 or 28 I/O Ports, Each Configurable as
Each port can be configured as either a push-pull logic
output capable of sinking 10mA and sourcing 4.5mA, or a
Schmitt logic input with optional internal pullup. Seven
ports feature configurable transition detection logic, which
generates an interrupt upon change of port logic level.
The MAX7300 is controlled through an I2C-compatible 2-
wire serial interface, and uses four-level logic to allow 16
I2C addresses from only two select pins.

o 11µA (max) Shutdown Current
o Logic Transition Detection for Seven I/O Ports
Ordering Information
The MAX7300AAX and MAX7300ATL have 28 ports and
are available in 36-pin SSOP and 40-pin TQFN pack-
ages, respectively. The MAX7300AAI and MAX7300ATI
have 20 ports and are available in 28-pin SSOP and
TQFN packages. For an SPI-interfaced version, refer to
the MAX7301 data sheet. For a pin-compatible port
expander with additional 24mA constant-current LED
drive capability, refer to the MAX6956 data sheet.
