The MAX7314AEG+ is a sophisticated, 16-port I/O expander from Maxim Integrated, designed to facilitate the management of complex input/output tasks in microcontroller-based systems. It operates on a 2-wire I²C-compatible serial interface, making it an ideal component for applications where board space is at a premium and additional I/O ports are essential.

Key Features

• Port Expander: Adds 16 programmable I/O ports to your system, which can be configured as either inputs or outputs.
• Serial Interface: Uses an I²C-compatible serial interface that supports 400kHz Fast Mode I²C for communication with the host controller.
• Polarity Inversion: Each I/O port can be configured for polarity inversion, allowing for easy adaptation to different logic levels.
• Output Drive Capability: The outputs can sink 50mA and source up to 10mA, which is suitable for driving LEDs or other low-power devices.
• Transition Detection: Features a transition detection on the input ports, which can be used to generate an interrupt, alerting the host microcontroller of a change in input state.
• Power-Supply Voltage: Operates across a wide range of power-supply voltages from 2.5V to 5.5V, making it versatile for various operating environments.
• Temperature Range: Designed to function in extended temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C, ensuring reliability in harsh conditions.
• Package: Available in a 24-pin TSSOP package, which is both space-efficient and suitable for automated assembly processes.
