MAX7301
4-Wire-Interfaced, 2.5V to 5.5V,
20-Port and 28-Port I/O Expander
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Industry-Standard 4-Wire Interface Simplifies
Expansion of I/O Ports to Up to 28 I/Os Independent
of Microprocessor Architecture
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 individu-
ally user configurable to either a logic input or logic output.
®
• High-Speed, 26MHz, SPI-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE -
Compatible Serial Interface
• 2.25V to 5.5V Operation
• 20 or 28 I/O Ports Configurable as Push-Pull Logic
Output, Schmitt Logic Input or Schmitt Logic Input
with Internal Pullup
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.
• Logic Transition Detection for Seven I/O Ports
● Low Power Consumption Reduces Power-Supply
Requirements
The MAX7301AAX and MAX7301ATL have 28 ports and
are available in 36-pin SSOP and 40-pin TQFN packages,
respectively. The MAX7301AAI has 20 ports and is avail-
able in a 28-pin SSOP package.
• 11μA (max) Shutdown Current
