Product Summary

The PCF8574AT is a Remote 8-bit I/O expander. It provides general purpose remote I/O expansion for most microcontroller families via the two-line bidirectional bus (I2C-bus). The PCF8574AT consists of an 8-bit quasi-bidirectional port and an I2C-bus interface. The PCF8574AT 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 to the interrupt logic of the microcontroller. By sending an interrupt signal on this line, the remote I/O of the PCF8574AT can inform the microcontroller if there is incoming data on its ports without having to communicate via the I2C-bus.
