Frequently Asked Questions
How many additional I/O lines does MCP23S18-E/SP add to an MCU, and what SPI clock rate does it support?
MCP23S18-E/SP expands a microcontroller's I/O by 16 lines organized as two independent 8-bit ports, all accessible via SPI at up to 10 MHz clock frequency. This allows a host MCU with limited GPIO to control 16 external signals such as relay drivers, LED arrays, or button matrices without consuming more than a few SPI pins.
Can MCP23S18-E/SP generate interrupts to wake a low-power MCU when an input changes state?
Yes, MCP23S18-E/SP supports interrupt-on-change functionality on all 16 input pins, producing a configurable active-low or active-high interrupt output. When any monitored pin changes state, the interrupt line alerts the host MCU, enabling event-driven designs that keep the processor in sleep mode until a relevant 16-bit I/O event occurs.
What through-hole package does MCP23S18-E/SP use, and how does it compare to surface-mount I/O expander alternatives?
MCP23S18-E/SP is packaged in a 28-pin SPDIP (JESD-30 Code R-PDIP-T28), a through-hole format suited for prototyping boards, socketed industrial modules, and repair-friendly assemblies. Designers needing a smaller SMT footprint may prefer the MCP23S18 in SSOP-28, while the SPDIP variant is preferred for breadboard development and rugged through-hole PCB builds.
Is MCP23S18-E/SP compliant with RoHS, and what is its typical factory lead time for volume procurement?
MCP23S18-E/SP is Pb-free and carries JESD-609 Code e3, confirming full RoHS compliance. Its factory lead time is approximately 6 weeks, and a projected YTEOL of 9 years makes it a reliable long-term procurement choice for industrial and embedded designs requiring 16-bit SPI I/O expansion in a 28-pin through-hole package.
