Description and Introduction

Remote 8-bit I/O expander for I虏C鈥慴us with interrupt # Introduction to the PCF8574P I/O Expander  

The PCF8574P is a versatile remote 8-bit I/O expander designed for I²C-bus applications. Manufactured by NXP Semiconductors, this integrated circuit (IC) enables microcontrollers to expand their input/output (I/O) capabilities with minimal wiring. It is particularly useful in applications where additional GPIO pins are required but the host controller has limited available ports.  

Featuring an open-drain interrupt output, the PCF8574P can signal the microcontroller when an input state changes, reducing the need for continuous polling. Each of its eight quasi-bidirectional I/O pins can be independently configured as an input or output, providing flexibility in interfacing with sensors, switches, LEDs, and other peripherals.  

Operating at a supply voltage range of 2.5V to 6V, the PCF8574P is compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems. Its I²C interface supports standard (100 kHz) and fast (400 kHz) modes, ensuring efficient communication with most microcontrollers. With a compact DIP or SO package, it is suitable for prototyping and embedded designs.  

The PCF8574P is widely used in industrial control, automation, and consumer electronics, offering a cost-effective solution for I/O expansion while maintaining simplicity in design and integration.

Application Scenarios & Design Considerations

Remote 8-bit I/O expander for I虏C鈥慴us with interrupt

Alternative Part Number

  • PCF8574N --: Same I2C 8-bit I/O expander function in a DIP-16 package, widely available and pin-compatible with the original PCF8574P.
  • PCF8574AP --: NXP is the original Philips lineage for the PCF8574 family; the A variant offers the same I2C expander function with slightly different I2C address range, suitable as a drop-in functional replacement.
  • MCP23008-E/P --: Alternative I2C 8-bit I/O expander in DIP-18 with similar functionality; requires minor address/register changes but is a solid cross-vendor substitute.
