19-2438; Rev 3; 10/03
4-Wire-Interfaced, 2.5V to 5.5V, 20-Port and
28-Port I/O Expander
General Description
Features
The MAX7301 compact, serial-interfaced I/O expander
(or general-purpose I/O (GPIO) peripheral) provides
microprocessors with up to 28 ports. Each port is indi-
vidually user configurable to either a logic input or logic
output.
♦ High-Speed 26MHz SPI-/QSPI-™/MICROWIRE™-
Compatible Serial Interface
♦ 2.5V to 5.5V Operation
♦ -40°C to +125°C Temperature Range
Each port can be configured either as 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 MAX7301 is controlled through an
SPI™-compatible 4-wire serial interface.
♦ 20 or 28 I/O Ports, Each Configurable as
Push-Pull Logic Output
Schmitt Logic Input
Schmitt Logic Input with Internal Pullup
♦ 11µA (max) Shutdown Current
♦ Logic Transition Detection for Seven I/O Ports
The MAX7301AAX and MAX7301AGL have 28 ports and
are available in 36-pin SSOP and 40-pin QFN packages,
respectively. The MAX7301AAI and MAX7301ANI have
20 ports and are available in 28-pin SSOP and 28-pin DIP
packages, respectively.
