MAX7321
I C Port Expander with 8 Open-Drain I/Os
General Description
Features
● 400kHz I C Serial Interface
2
The MAX7321 2-wire serial-interfaced peripheral features
eight open-drain I/O ports with selectable internal pullups
and transition detection. Any port may be used as a logic
input or an open-drain output. Ports are overvoltage
protected to +6V independent of supply voltage.
● +1.71V to +5.5V Operating Voltage
● 8 Open-Drain I/O Ports Rated to 20mA Sink Current
● I/O Ports Are Overvoltage Protected to +6V
All I/O ports configured as inputs are continuously
monitored for state changes (transition detection). State
changes are indicated by the open-drain INT output.
The interrupt is latched, allowing detection of transient
changes. When the MAX7321 is subsequently accessed
through the serial interface, any pending interrupt is
cleared.
● Any Port Can Be a Logic Input or an Open-Drain
Output
● Selectable I/O Port Power-Up Default Logic States
● Transient Changes Are Latched, Allowing Detection
Between Read Operations
● INT Output Alerts Change on Inputs
The open-drain outputs are rated to sink 20mA and are
capable of driving LEDs.
● AD0 and AD2 Inputs Select from 16 Slave
Addresses
The RST input clears the serial interface, terminating any

I C communication to or from the MAX7321.
● -40°C to +125°C Operating Temperature
The MAX7321 uses two address inputs with four-level
logic to allow 16 I C slave addresses. The slave address
also determines the power-up logic state for the I/O ports,
and enables or disables internal 40kΩ pullups in groups
of four ports.
