Texas Instruments FPC401
Quad Port Controller
FEATURES
●1 Supports Control Signal Management and I2C Aggregation Across Four Ports● Combine Multiple FPC401s to Control 56 Total Ports Through a Single Host Interface
● Eliminates Need for Discrete I2C Muxes, LED Drivers, and High-Pin-Count FPGA/CPLD Control Devices
● Reduces PCB Routing Complexity by Handling All Low-Speed Control Signals Close to the Port
● Selectable I2C (Up to 1 MHz) or SPI (Up to 10 MHz) Host Control Interface
● Automatic Pre-Fetching of Critical, User-Specified Data From the Modules
● Low Single-Port and Multi-Port Read/Write Latency: <50 µs for SPI Mode, <400 µs for I2C Mode
● Broadcast Mode Allows Writes to All Ports Simultaneously Across All FPC401 Controllers
● Advanced LED
FEATURES
for Port Status Indication, Including Programmable Blinking and Dimming● Customizable Interrupt Events
● Separate Host-Side I/O Voltage: 1.8-V to 3.3-V
● Small QFN Package Enabling Placement on Bottom Side of PCB Underneath Ports 2
