- Supports up to 8 device addresses via A0-A2 pins, allowing up to 8 devices on a single bus
- Active-low interrupt output for real-time notification of I/O state changes
- Wide operating voltage range of 2.5V to 6V for flexible system integration
- Low standby current consumption for power-sensitive applications
Applications
The PCF8574RGTR is widely used in embedded systems requiring GPIO expansion, such as driving LCD displays, LED matrices, and relay arrays via a simple 2-wire I2C interface. It is ideal for industrial automation panels, smart home controllers, and IoT sensor hubs where microcontroller I/O pins are limited. Its interrupt-driven design also makes it suitable for keyboard scanning and low-power remote monitoring applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the PCF8574RGTR?
The PCF8574RGTR supports a maximum I2C clock frequency of 100kHz (standard mode). This makes it compatible with virtually all microcontrollers and single-board computers that implement the standard I2C protocol, including Arduino, STM32, and Raspberry Pi platforms.
How many PCF8574RGTR devices can be connected on a single I2C bus?
Up to 8 PCF8574RGTR devices can be connected on a single I2C bus simultaneously, since the device supports 3 configurable address pins (A0, A1, A2), providing 8 unique 7-bit addresses. This allows expansion to 64 additional I/O lines from a single bus.
What package type is the PCF8574RGTR and what are its key dimensions?
The PCF8574RGTR comes in a 16-pin Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN/VQFN) package (JESD-30 code: S-PQCC-N16). This compact, lead-free surface-mount package is suitable for space-constrained PCB designs and complies with RoHS environmental requirements.
What are typical applications for the PCF8574RGTR?
The PCF8574RGTR is commonly used for LCD and LED display control, relay and motor driver interfaces, keyboard matrix scanning, and general-purpose I/O expansion in industrial control, consumer electronics, and IoT devices where the host microcontroller has limited available GPIO pins.
