Maxim MAX7321 I2C Port Expander Datasheet
The MAX7321 is a general‑purpose I2C port expander that provides eight open‑drain I/O pins. Each pin can be used as a logic input or an open‑drain output, supports 20 mA sink current, and is over‑voltage protected to +6 V. The device includes transition‑detection logic that latches input changes and signals them via an INT output.
The part operates from a 1.71 V to 5.5 V supply, supports up to 400 kHz I2C clock frequency, and is qualified for the automotive temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C. It offers 16‑pin QSOP and TQFN packages, with a total sink capability of 100 mA across all ports and a typical standby current of 0.6 µA.
