Maxim MAX7311 2-Wire I/O Port Expander Datasheet
The MAX7311 provides 16 parallel I/O pins that can be individually configured as inputs or outputs via an SMBus™/I²C‑compatible serial interface. It includes features such as polarity inversion, bus timeout, open‑drain interrupt output, and supports hot insertion. Three address pins allow selection of one of 64 slave IDs, making it suitable for server, RAID, industrial control, medical, and PLC applications.
The device operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, with a standby current as low as 2.9 pA and a typical pull‑up of 100 kΩ on each I/O. It is offered in 24‑pin SO, SSOP, TSSOP, and thin QFN packages and is qualified for the –40 °C to +125 °C automotive temperature range.
