PCF8574 Bus expander

The PCF8574A provides general purpose remote I/O expansion for most microcontroller families via the two-line bidirectional bus (I2C-bus).

The device consists of an 8-bit quasi-bidirectional port and an I2C-bus interface. The PCF8574A has a low current consumption and includes latched outputs with high current drive capability for directly driving LEDs. It also possesses an interrupt line (INT) which can be connected.

Features:

  • Operating supply voltage 2.5 to 6 V
  • Low standby current consumption of 10 uA maximum
  • I2C-bus to parallel port expander
  • Open-drain interrupt output
  • 8-bit remote I/O port for the I2C-bus
  • Compatible with most microcontrollers
  • Latched outputs with high current drive capability for directly driving LEDs
  • Address by 3 hardware address pins for use of up to 8 devices (up to 16 with PCF8574A)
