Provides 8 digital input/output pins arranged into an 8-bit port using a I2C bus connection. Up to eight expanders can be connected to the same I2C peripheral by means of three address pins. Supports the PCF8574 and PCF8574A devices allowing up to 16 expanders to be connected to the same I2C bus ( 8 x PCF8574 + 8 x PCF8574A ).

IO Expander component

Provides 8 digital input/output pins arranged into an 8-bit port using a I2C bus connection. Up to eight expanders can be connected to the same I2C peripheral by means of three address pins. Supports the PCF8574 and PCF8574A devices allowing up to 16 expanders to be connected to the same I2C bus ( 8 x PCF8574 + 8 x PCF8574A ).

Fc9-type-7-icon.png Stop Delay
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications.
