MAX7326
I2C Port Expander with
12 Push-Pull Outputs and 4 Inputs
General Description
Features
● 400kHz I C Serial Interface
2
The MAX7326 2-wire serial-interfaced peripheral features
16 I/O ports. The ports are divided into 12 push-pull out-
puts and four input ports with selectable internal pullups.
Input ports are overvoltage protected to +6V and feature
transition detection with interrupt output.
● +1.71V to +5.5V Operating Voltage
● 12 Push-Pull Outputs Rated at 20mA Sink Current
● 4 Input Ports with Matchable Latching Transition
Detection
The four 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 open-drain, +6V-tolerant INT output. When
the MAX7326 is subsequently accessed through the
serial interface, any pending interrupt is cleared. The 12
push-pull outputs are rated to sink 20mA and are capable
of driving LEDs. The RST input clears the serial inter-

The MAX7326 uses two address inputs with four-level
logic to allow 16 I C slave addresses. The slave address

also sets the power-up default state for the 12 output
ports and enables or disables internal 40kΩ pullups in
groups of two input ports.
