Frequently Asked Questions
How many GPIO lines can the MCP23S18T-E/MJ provide, and how are they organized?
The MCP23S18T-E/MJ provides 16 GPIO lines organized into 2 independent 8-bit ports (PORTA and PORTB). Each port can be individually configured as input or output, and each pin supports up to 25 mA sink current, making it suitable for driving LEDs or relays directly.
What SPI clock speed does MCP23S18T-E/MJ support, and how many devices can share the same bus?
The MCP23S18T-E/MJ supports SPI clock frequencies up to 10 MHz. Up to 8 devices can be cascaded on a single SPI bus using hardware address pins, allowing expansion to 128 GPIO lines from one host interface without additional bus arbitration logic.
Is MCP23S18T-E/MJ suitable for a design requiring open-drain interrupt outputs for multiple events?
Yes. The MCP23S18T-E/MJ features two open-drain interrupt output pins, one per 8-bit port, which can be mirrored and configured for interrupt-on-change. This allows a single host MCU interrupt pin to service all 16 I/O lines, reducing GPIO overhead in event-driven designs.
What package does the MCP23S18T-E/MJ use and what are the key procurement considerations?
The MCP23S18T-E/MJ is supplied in a 24-pin QFN package with a typical factory lead time of 6 weeks. The T suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging suitable for automated SMT assembly. Buyers should confirm RoHS compliance (JESD-609 code e3 indicates Pb-free) and check stock for volume orders.
