What are the key features of MCP23017T-E/SS?
- 16 I/O lines organized as two independent 8-bit ports (PORTA/PORTB) with individual direction control registers
- I2C interface operating up to 400 kHz (fast mode) with 10 MHz maximum clock for high-speed polling applications
- Hardware interrupt outputs (INTA/INTB) for event-driven designs that reduce CPU polling overhead
- Programmable pull-up resistors on all 16 I/O pins eliminate the need for external pull-up components
- Wide supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V compatible with modern 3.3 V and legacy 5 V microcontroller systems
What is MCP23017T-E/SS used for?
The MCP23017T-E/SS is used extensively in embedded systems where microcontroller GPIO resources are exhausted, such as keyboard matrix scanning, LED panel driving, and relay control boards. Its I2C interface allows up to 8 MCP23017 devices to share a single 2-wire bus, expanding a system to 128 additional I/O lines with minimal wiring. The interrupt output pins enable reactive designs in industrial control panels, home automation gateways, and robotics controllers where pin-change detection reduces CPU load.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many GPIO pins does the MCP23017T-E/SS add to a microcontroller, and how are they organized?
The MCP23017T-E/SS provides 16 additional GPIO pins split into two independent 8-bit ports (PORTA and PORTB), each with its own direction, pull-up, and interrupt configuration registers. This doubles the available I/O on a typical 16-pin microcontroller without adding extra address lines.
How many MCP23017T-E/SS devices can share a single I2C bus, and what address range do they use?
Up to 8 MCP23017T-E/SS devices can share a single I2C bus using 3 hardware address pins (A0, A1, A2), yielding 128 additional I/O lines from one 2-wire bus. The I2C base address is 0x20, with addresses 0x20 through 0x27 available depending on the A0-A2 pin states.
Does the MCP23017T-E/SS support interrupt-driven I/O, and how does this reduce CPU overhead?
Yes, the MCP23017T-E/SS has two dedicated interrupt output pins (INTA for PORTA, INTB for PORTB) that assert when any enabled pin changes state. This allows a host microcontroller to sleep between events rather than polling at 400 kHz, reducing active CPU time by orders of magnitude in low-power IoT and battery-operated designs.
What supply voltage does the MCP23017T-E/SS require, and is it 3.3 V and 5 V compatible?
The MCP23017T-E/SS operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, making it compatible with 3.3 V ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, 5 V AVR systems, and single-cell LiPo battery supplies. No level-shifting is required when interfacing with 3.3 V logic that drives I2C bus lines through standard open-drain topology.
For a relay driver board with 16 outputs, is the MCP23017T-E/SS a suitable I/O expander choice?
The MCP23017T-E/SS is a strong fit for 16-channel relay driver boards because each of its 16 I/O pins can sink up to 25 mA and source 25 mA, sufficient to drive opto-isolator inputs directly. Paired with a ULN2803 darlington array, all 16 relay coils up to 500 mA each can be controlled from a single I2C address on a 3.3 V or 5 V bus.
