General Description

The PCA8574/74A provides general-purpose remote I/O expansion via the two-wire bidirectional I2C-bus (serial clock (SCL), serial data (SDA)).

The devices consist of eight quasi-bidirectional ports, 400 kHz I2C-bus interface, three hardware address inputs and interrupt output operating between 2.3 V and 5.5 V.

The quasi-bidirectional port can be independently assigned as an input to monitor interrupt status or keypads, or as an output to activate indicator devices such as LEDs.

Overview
