Texas Instruments PCF8574A
The PCF8574A device provides general-purpose remote I/O expansion for most microcontroller families via the I2C interface [serial clock (SCL), serial data (SDA)]. The device features an 8-bit quasi-bidirectional I/O port (P0–P7), including latched outputs with highcurrent drive capability for directly driving LEDs. Each quasi-bidirectional I/O can be used as an input or output without the use of a data-direction control signal.FEATURES
● Low Standby-Current Consumption of 10 μA Max● I2C to Parallel-Port Expander

DESCRIPTION
This 8-bit input/output (I/O) expander for the two-line bidirectional bus (I2C) is designed for 2.5-V to 6-V VCC operation. At power on, the I/Os are high. In this mode, only a current source to VCC is active.
