GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SX1507QB, SX1508QB and SX1509QB are
complete ultra low voltage General Purpose parallel
Input/Output (GPIO) expanders ideal for low power
handheld battery powered equipment. This family of
GPIOs comes in 4-, 8-, 16-channel configuration and
allows easy serial expansion of I/O through a
standard 400kHz I2C interface. GPIO devices can
provide additional control and monitoring when the
microcontroller or chipset has insufficient I/O ports, or
in systems where serial communication and control
from a remote location is advantageous.
These devices can also act as a level shifter to
connect a microcontroller running at one voltage level
to a component running at a different voltage level,
thus eliminating the need for extra level translating
circuits. The core is operating as low as 1.2V
(SX1507QB) while the dual I/O banks can operate
between 1.2V and 5.5V (SX1507QB) independent of
the core voltage and each other (5.5V tolerant).
The SX1507QB, SX1508QB and SX1509QB feature
a fully programmable LED Driver with internal
oscillator for enhanced lighting control such as
intensity (via 256-step PWM), blinking and breathing
(fade in/out) make them highly versatile for a wide
range of LED applications.
In addition, keypad applications are also supported
with an on-chip scanning engine that enables
continuous keypad monitoring up to 64 keys without
any additional host interaction reducing bus activity.
The SX1507QB, SX1508QB and SX1509QB have
the ability to generate mask-programmable interrupts
based on a falling/rising edge of any of its GPIO lines.
A dedicated pin (NINT) indicates to a host controller
that a state change occurred on one or more of the
lines. Each GPIO is programmable via a bank of 8-bit
configuration registers that include data, direction,
pull-up/pull-down, interrupt mask and interrupt
registers. These I/O expanders feature small footprint
packages and are rated from -40°C to +85°C
temperature range.
