Applications
The MCP23017-E/SP is commonly used in Raspberry Pi and Arduino projects to add 16 extra GPIO lines over I2C when onboard pins are insufficient for driving relay banks, keypads, or LED arrays. Industrial HMI panels use it to interface front-panel buttons and indicator LEDs to a microcontroller without consuming additional SPI or UART channels. Its 8-device addressability allows up to 128 additional I/O lines on a single I2C bus in automation controllers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many I/O pins does the MCP23017-E/SP add to a microcontroller via I2C?
The MCP23017-E/SP provides 16 bidirectional I/O pins organized as two independent 8-bit ports, each configurable individually as input or output, effectively doubling available GPIO on a microcontroller with a single I2C connection.
Can multiple MCP23017-E/SP devices share the same I2C bus without address conflicts?
Yes, three hardware address pins (A0, A1, A2) allow up to 8 MCP23017-E/SP devices on one I2C bus, giving a maximum of 128 additional I/O lines from a single 2-wire bus running at up to 10 MHz.
How do the interrupt outputs on the MCP23017-E/SP reduce polling overhead in an embedded design?
Each port has a dedicated INTA or INTB interrupt output that asserts when any enabled input changes state; the host microcontroller only needs to query the device upon interrupt, eliminating the overhead of constantly polling 16 pins at the I2C bus speed.
For a relay-driver board using the MCP23017-E/SP, how much current can each output source or sink?
Each output pin can source or sink up to 25 mA, and the total package dissipation limits the aggregate current; for driving relay coils above 25 mA, an external driver transistor or ULN2003 array is recommended per output.
