Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PCF8574PWR and what does it do?
The PCF8574PWR is an 8-bit remote I/O expander from Texas Instruments that communicates via the I2C bus. It provides 8 quasi-bidirectional I/O ports through a 2-wire interface, allowing microcontrollers to control up to 8 digital I/O lines using only 2 pins. It supports I2C speeds up to 400kHz and operates from 2.5V to 6V.
What package and pin count does the PCF8574PWR use?
PCF8574PWR uses the TSSOP-16 surface-mount package with 16 pins. The TSSOP-16 footprint offers a compact profile for space-constrained PCB designs. Pin functions include 8 I/O ports (P0-P7), 2 I2C lines (SDA/SCL), 3 address pins (A0-A2), an interrupt output (/INT), VCC, and GND.
How many PCF8574PWR devices can share one I2C bus?
Up to 8 PCF8574PWR devices can be connected on the same I2C bus. Each device is assigned a unique 3-bit hardware address via A0, A1, A2 pins (addresses 0x20 through 0x27), allowing a single MCU to control up to 64 additional GPIO lines over just 2 wires.
What are good alternatives to the PCF8574PWR?
Compatible alternatives include PCF8574APWR (alternate I2C address range 0x38-0x3F), PCA9534 (lower voltage 1.65-5.5V), and MCP23008 (1.8-5.5V). For 16-bit expansion consider PCF8575 or MCP23017. These are functionally equivalent or pin-compatible in most designs.
Is the PCF8574PWR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the PCF8574PWR is RoHS compliant and lead-free. Texas Instruments ships this part in green/RoHS packaging with a matte-tin lead finish on the TSSOP-16 package, compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and its amendments.
