General Description
The MAX7323 2-wire serial-interfaced peripheral features
eight I/O ports. Four ports are push-pull outputs and the
other four are open-drain I/O ports that are overvoltage
protected up to +6V independent of the supply voltage.
The four I/O ports configured as inputs are continu-
ously monitored for state changes (transition detec-
tion). State changes are indicated by the open-drain
INT output. The interrupt is latched, allowing detection
of transient changes. When the MAX7323 is subse-
quently accessed through the serial interface, any
pending interrupt is cleared.
The four push-pull and four open-drain outputs are
rated to sink 20mA and are capable of driving LEDs.
The RST input clears the serial interface, terminating
any I
2
C communication to or from the MAX7323.
The MAX7323 uses two address inputs with four-level
logic to allow 16 I
2
C slave addresses. The slave
address also determines the power-up logic state for
the I/O ports, and enables or disables internal 40kΩ
pullups for the input ports in groups of two ports.
The MAX7323 is one device in a family of pin-compatible
port expanders with a choice of input ports, open-drain
I/O ports, and push-pull output ports (see Table 1).
The MAX7323 is available in 16-pin QSOP and 16-pin
TQFN packages, and is specified over the automotive
temperature range (-40°C to +125°C).
