Product data
8-bit I2C and SMBus I/O port with interrupt,
2-kbit EEPROM and 6 address pins
PCA9501
DESCRIPTION
The PCA9501 is an 8-bit I/O expander with an on-board 2-kbit
EEPROM.
The I/O expandable eight quasi bidirectional data pins can be
independently assigned as inputs or outputs to monitor board level
status or activate indicator devices such as LEDs. The system
master writes to the I/O configuration bits in the same way as for the
PCF8574. The data for each Input or Output is kept in the
corresponding Input or Output register. The system master can read
all registers.
FEATURES
The EEPROM can be used to store error codes or board
manufacturing data for read-back by application software for
diagnostic purposes and are included in the I/O expander package.
• 8 general purpose input/output expander/collector
• Replacement for PCF8574 with integrated 2-kbit EEPROM
• Internal 256 × 8 EEPROM
The PCA9501 Active-LOW open-drain interrupt output is activated
when any input state differes from its corresponding input port
register state. It is used to indicate to the system master that an
input state has changed and the device needs to be interrogated.
• Self timed write cycle (5 ms typ)
• 16 byte page write operation
The PCA9501 has six address pins with internal pull-up resistors

• I C and SMBus interface logic

allowing up to 64 devices to share the common two wire I C
• Internal power-on reset
software protocol serial data bus. The fixed GPIO address starts
2
with “1” and the fixed EEPROM I C address starts with “0”, so the
• Noise filter on SCL/SDA inputs
PCA9501 appears as two separate devices to the bus master.
• Active low interrupt output
The PCA9501 supports hot insertion to facilitate usage in removable
cards on backplane systems.
