Maxim MAX7300 I/O Expander Datasheet
The MAX7300 is a compact, serial‑interfaced I/O expansion peripheral that offers either 20 or 28 configurable ports. Each port can be set as a push‑pull output or a Schmitt‑trigger input with optional internal pull‑up, and seven ports include transition‑detection logic that can generate an interrupt.
The device operates over a 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply range, supports temperatures from –40 °C to +125 °C, and communicates via an I²C‑compatible two‑wire serial interface. Various package options (SSOP, QFN, DIP) provide flexibility for different board designs.
