Frequently Asked Questions
How many PCF8574ADW devices can share a single I2C bus?
Up to 8 PCF8574ADW devices can coexist on one I2C bus. Each device has three hardware address pins (A0, A1, A2) that set its 7-bit address, giving 8 unique addresses (0x38–0x3F). For designs needing more than 64 I/O lines, the PCF8574A (0x70–0x77 range) can be combined on the same bus for a total of 16 expanders and 128 I/O pins.
Supply voltage compatibility: does PCF8574ADW work at 3.3V and 5V?
Yes. PCF8574ADW operates from 2.5V to 6V, making it fully compatible with both 3.3V (ARM Cortex-M, ESP32) and 5V (ATmega, classic Arduino) systems. The I2C lines must not exceed VCC; if your MCU runs at 3.3V but the expander is powered at 5V, use a level shifter on SDA/SCL to avoid latch-up.
How does the /INT interrupt pin work on PCF8574ADW?
The /INT pin goes low whenever any of the 8 I/O lines changes state (input toggles). The host MCU detects this falling edge via a GPIO interrupt, then reads the I2C port register to identify which pin changed. This eliminates polling, reducing bus traffic and CPU load — especially useful in battery-powered IoT nodes where the MCU can sleep between events.
Minimum order and lead time for PCF8574ADW
PCF8574ADW is available with MOQ 1 unit. Standard pricing starts at $2.00 for 1 piece, dropping to $0.975 for 15+ pieces. Lead time is typically within 2 weeks for stocked quantities; for large orders (1000+) contact us for a dedicated quote and expedited sourcing.
Compatible alternatives to PCF8574ADW for design-in
Pin-compatible alternatives include the PCF8574ADWR (tape-and-reel variant), NXP PCF8574A (identical functionality, same I2C address range 0x38–0x3F), and the MCP23008 (Microchip, 18-pin DIP/SOIC, 1.8–5.5V, additional features). For higher channel counts, consider the PCF8575 (16-bit expander, I2C) or MCP23017 (16-bit, I2C, interrupt per bank).
