Key Features
- 16 bidirectional I/O pins configurable as input or output independently per pin
- SPI interface operating up to 10 MHz for fast host communication
- Configurable interrupt-on-change per pin to minimize polling overhead
- SSOP-28 package enables compact PCB layout in space-constrained designs
Applications
The MCP23S17T-E/SS is widely used in embedded systems where the host microcontroller lacks sufficient GPIO pins, such as industrial control panels, home automation hubs, and keyboard matrix scanning. Its SPI interface and 16 I/O lines allow a single chip to manage LEDs, buttons, relays, and sensor enable lines simultaneously. The SSOP-28 package suits compact PCBs with moderate pin-count requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many GPIO pins does MCP23S17T-E/SS provide and how are they configured?
The MCP23S17T-E/SS provides 16 bidirectional I/O pins organized in two 8-bit ports (PORTA and PORTB). Each pin is individually configurable as input or output via SPI registers, and each has an optional internal pull-up resistor, giving designers fine-grained control over 16 lines with a single device.
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by MCP23S17T-E/SS?
The MCP23S17T-E/SS supports SPI clock frequencies up to 10 MHz, enabling rapid I/O register updates with minimal latency. This speed is sufficient to refresh all 16 outputs or read all 16 inputs in under 5 µs at full clock rate, keeping real-time control loops responsive.
Can MCP23S17T-E/SS generate interrupts, and how does this benefit embedded designs?
Yes, the MCP23S17T-E/SS features configurable interrupt-on-change on all 16 inputs, routed to two dedicated INTA and INTB output pins. This allows the host microcontroller to remain idle until an input changes, reducing CPU polling overhead and enabling efficient event-driven firmware for button presses or sensor triggers.
For a 28-pin SSOP footprint, what are the board-space implications of using MCP23S17T-E/SS?
The SSOP-28 package has a lead pitch of 0.65 mm and an overall body width of approximately 5.3 mm, allowing placement in compact PCB areas. Compared to a DIP-28 alternative, it uses roughly 60% less board area, making it suitable for space-constrained handheld or IoT device designs.
