Key Featrues

16-Bit I/O Expansion with Interrupt Output: The MCP23017/MCP23S17 provides 16-bit parallel I/O expansion, enabling efficient control of multiple devices with minimal GPIO pins. The interrupt output feature reduces the need for continuous polling, improving system efficiency and responsiveness in applications like sensor monitoring or control systems.
Cascadable for Up to 8 Devices on One Bus: The device supports cascading, allowing up to 8 devices to be connected on a single I2C or SPI bus. This scalability is ideal for applications requiring extensive I/O expansion, such as industrial automation or multi-device control systems, while maintaining a compact and efficient design.
25mA Sink/Source Capability per I/O: With a high current drive capability of 25mA per I/O pin, the device can directly drive LEDs, relays, or other peripherals without additional drivers. This enhances performance and simplifies circuit design in applications like lighting control or motor driving.
Supports Multiple I2C and SPI Speeds: The device supports I2C speeds of 100kHz, 400kHz, and 1.7MHz, as well as SPI communication. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide range of microcontrollers and systems, optimizing performance for both low-speed and high-speed applications.
Configurable Interrupt Conditions: The device allows interrupts to be triggered based on input state changes or deviations from predefined values. This feature enhances system efficiency by enabling precise event detection and reducing unnecessary processing, making it suitable for real-time monitoring and control applications.
