Maxim Integrated MAX7315 8-Port I/O Expander Datasheet
The MAX7315 is an I2C/SMBus‑compatible serial peripheral that provides eight configurable I/O ports plus a ninth interrupt/output pin. Each port can operate as an open‑drain current‑sinking output (50 mA, 5.5 V) or a logic input with transition detection, and supports per‑port 4‑bit PWM LED intensity control.
The device operates from 2 V to 3.6 V, offers up to 64 selectable I2C addresses, and includes hot‑insertion protection, low standby current, and a temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C. It is supplied in a thin 3 mm × 3 mm QFN package.
