Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PCF8574DW used for?
The PCF8574DW is an 8-bit I2C I/O expander from Texas Instruments. It is used to add 8 additional GPIO lines to a microcontroller over a 2-wire I2C bus, commonly in industrial panels, home automation, keyboard matrices, and display controllers where MCU pin count is limited.
What package and pin count does the PCF8574DW have?
The PCF8574DW comes in a 16-pin SOIC wide-body (DW) package. It has 8 I/O pins, 3 address select pins (A0-A2), SDA/SCL for I2C, an interrupt output pin, VCC, and GND, totaling 16 pins.
What is the supply voltage and operating temperature for PCF8574DW?
The PCF8574DW operates from 2.5V to 6V supply voltage, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems. The commercial grade device supports 0C to 70C operating temperature range.
What are the alternatives to PCF8574DW?
Common alternatives to the PCF8574DW include the PCF8574ATW (same function, alternate I2C address range, also TI), MCP23008 (Microchip, 8-bit I2C I/O expander, SOIC-18), and PCA9534 (NXP, 8-bit I2C I/O expander, lower power). All provide 8 quasi-bidirectional I/O ports over I2C.
Is the PCF8574DW RoHS compliant?
Yes, the PCF8574DW is RoHS compliant and manufactured as a lead-free component by Texas Instruments. It meets EU RoHS Directive requirements restricting hazardous substances in electronic equipment.
