I C Port Expander with 12 Push-Pull Outputs
and 4 Open-Drain I/Os
General Description
Features
2
♦ 400kHz I C Serial Interface
The MAX7327, a 2-wire serial-interfaced peripheral,
features 12 push-pull outputs and four configurable
open-drain I/O ports with selectable internal pullups
and transition detection. Ports are overvoltage protect-
ed to +6V, independent of supply voltage.
♦ +1.71V to +5.5V Operating Voltage
♦ 12 Push-Pull Output Ports, Rated at 20mA Sink
Current
♦ 4 Open-Drain I/O Ports, Rated at 20mA Sink Current
♦ I/O Ports are Overvoltage Protected to +6V
♦ Selectable I/O Port Power-Up Default Logic States
The four I/O ports configured as inputs are continuously
monitored for state changes (transition detection). State
changes are indicated by the open-drain, +6V-tolerant
INT output. The interrupt is latched, detecting transient
changes. When the MAX7327 is subsequently accessed
through the serial interface, any pending interrupt is
cleared. The 12 push-pull and the four open-drain out-
puts are rated to sink 20mA, and are capable of driving
LEDs. The RST input clears the serial interface, terminat-
♦ Transient Changes are Latched, Allowing Detection
Between Read Operations
♦ INT Output Alerts Changes on Inputs
♦ AD0 and AD2 Inputs Select from 16 Slave
Addresses
♦ Low 0.6µA (typ) Standby Current
♦ -40°C to +125°C Temperature Range

ing any I C* communication to or from the MAX7327.
The MAX7327 uses two address inputs with four-level
logic to allow 16 I C slave addresses. The slave
2
address also determines the power-up logic state for
the I/O ports, and enables or disables internal 40kΩ
pullups in groups of two ports.
