SX1509BIULTRT

The SX1509B are complete ultra low voltage General Purpose parallel Input/Output (GPIO) expanders ideal for low power handheld battery powered equipment. This family of GPIOs comes in 8-, 16-channel configuration and allows easy serial expansion of I/O through a standard 400kHz I²C interface. GPIO devices can provide additional control and monitoring when the microcontroller or chipset has insufficient I/O ports, or in systems where serial communication and control from a remote location is advantageous. These devices can also act as a level shifter to connect a microcontroller running at one voltage level to a component running at a different voltage level, thus eliminating the need for extra level translating circuits. The core is operating as low as 1.425V while the dual I/O banks can operate between 1.2V and 3.6V independent of the core voltage and each other (5.5V tolerant).The SX1509B feature a fully programmable LED Driver with internal oscillator for enhanced lighting control such as intensity (via 256- step PWM), blinking and breathing (fade in/out) make them highly versatile for a wide range of LED applications. In addition, keypad applications are also supported with an on-chip scanning engine that enables continuous keypad monitoring up to 64 keys without any additional host interaction reducing bus activity.The SX1509B have the ability to generate mask-programmable interrupts based on a falling/rising edge of any of its GPIO lines. A dedicated pin (NINT) indicates to a host controller that a state change occurred on one or more of the lines. Each GPIO is programmable via a bank of 8-bit configuration registers that include data, direction, pull-up/pull-down, interrupt mask and interrupt registers. These I/O expanders feature small footprint packages and are rated from -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
