General description
The PCA9555A is a low-voltage 16-bit General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) expander with interrupt and weak pull-up resistors for I2C-bus/SMBus applications. NXP I/O expanders provide a simple solution when additional I/Os are needed while keeping interconnections to a minimum, for example, in ACPI power switches, sensors, push buttons, LEDs, fan control, etc.
In addition to providing a flexible set of GPIOs, the wide VDD range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V allows the PCA9555A to interface with next-generation microprocessors and microcontrollers where supply levels are dropping down to conserve power.
The PCA9555A contains the PCA9555 register set of four pairs of 8-bit Configuration, Input, Output, and Polarity Inversion registers.
FEATUREs and benefits
■ I2C-bus to parallel port expander
■ Operating power supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V
■ Low standby current consumption:
♦ 1.5 A (typical at 5 V VDD)
