PCA9555RGER 16-bit I/O expander SMBus 400 kHz 24-VQFN
The PCA9555RGER is a 16-bit I/O expander for the I²C-bus/SMBus from Texas Instruments, housed in a 24-VQFN package, designed to provide remote parallel I/O expansion for microcontrollers, ASICs, or other digital systems via a simple two-wire serial interface. This device operates from a 2.3 V to 5.5 V supply, supports 100 kHz and 400 kHz I²C clock frequencies, and features 16 quasi-bidirectional I/O ports that can be individually configured as inputs or outputs through software, with polarity inversion capability for the input ports.
It offers robust system integration features, including an active-low interrupt output that alerts the master to input state changes without continuous polling, reducing system overhead, and internal weak pull-up resistors on the I/O pins that eliminate the need for external resistors in many applications. The device also provides eight programmable slave addresses using three address pins, allowing up to eight such expanders on the same bus, and includes configuration, input, output, and polarity inversion registers for flexible control, with all I/Os defaulting to inputs at power-on for safe system initialization.
