Maxim MAX7313 16-Port I/O Expander Datasheet
The MAX7313 is a 2‑wire I²C‑compatible I/O expander that provides 16 configurable ports plus a 17th port usable as an interrupt or general‑purpose output. Each port can operate as an open‑drain output capable of sinking up to 50 mA at 5.5 V or as a logic input with transition detection.
The device includes integrated 8‑bit PWM control for LED intensity, with additional 4‑bit per‑port granularity, and supports hot‑insertion. It operates over a temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C and offers 64 selectable I²C slave addresses via three address pins.
