What are the key features of MCP23S17-E/ML?
- 16-bit GPIO expander over SPI at up to 10 MHz, adding 16 I/O lines to any microcontroller with minimal pin usage
- Wide 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply range with 3-wire SPI interface enabling compatibility with low-voltage and 5 V systems
- Cascadable up to 8 devices on a single SPI bus via hardware address pins, scaling to 128 additional I/O pins
- 28-pin QFN package with exposed pad supports compact board layouts with efficient heat sinking
What is MCP23S17-E/ML used for?
The MCP23S17-E/ML is used to expand the GPIO capacity of microcontrollers in applications such as industrial control panels, keyboard matrix scanning, LED array driving, and relay bank control. Its 10 MHz SPI interface allows fast I/O updates while consuming only 3 MCU pins for CS, MOSI, and SCK, freeing other peripherals for dedicated functions. The ability to cascade 8 devices on one bus makes it ideal for large-scale I/O expansion in PLCs, HMI panels, and embedded test fixtures.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many GPIO pins does the MCP23S17-E/ML add, and what interface does it use?
The MCP23S17-E/ML adds 16 GPIO pins through a 3-wire SPI interface operating at up to 10 MHz. This allows a microcontroller with as few as 3 dedicated SPI pins to gain a full 16-bit I/O port, which can be configured as inputs, outputs, or mixed in 8-bit bank groups.
Can multiple MCP23S17-E/ML devices share a single SPI bus, and how many can be connected?
Yes, up to 8 MCP23S17-E/ML devices can share a single SPI bus by using the 3 hardware address pins (A0, A1, A2) to assign unique addresses. This cascading capability extends I/O expansion to 128 additional pins at 10 MHz SPI clock, making it practical for industrial panels with dozens of inputs and relay outputs.
What supply voltage range does the MCP23S17-E/ML support for mixed-voltage system integration?
The MCP23S17-E/ML operates from a supply range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V, covering both 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains. This wide range allows direct interfacing with modern low-voltage microcontrollers as well as legacy 5 V systems without level-shifting circuitry, reducing design complexity and BOM cost.
How does the QFN-28 package of the MCP23S17-E/ML compare to the SOIC-28 package variant?
The MCP23S17-E/ML in the 28-pin QFN (VQFN-28) package occupies significantly less PCB area than the SOIC-28 variant, with a footprint of approximately 6 mm x 6 mm versus the SOIC's elongated profile. The QFN also offers better thermal performance due to the exposed bottom pad, making it the preferred choice for compact, thermally demanding I/O expansion applications.
