General Description
The MAX7301 compact, serial-interfaced I/O expander
(or general-purpose I/O (GPIO) peripheral) provides
microprocessors with up to 28 ports. Each port is indi-
vidually user configurable to either a logic input or logic
output.
Each port can be configured either as a push-pull logic
output capable of sinking 10mA and sourcing 4.5mA,
or a Schmitt logic input with optional internal pullup.
Seven ports feature configurable transition detection
logic, which generates an interrupt upon change of port
logic level. The MAX7301 is controlled through an
SPI™-compatible 4-wire serial interface.
The MAX7301AAX and MAX7301ATL have 28 ports and
are available in 36-pin SSOP and 40-pin TQFN packages,
respectively. The MAX7301AAI has 20 ports and is avail-
able in a 28-pin SSOP package.
For a 2-wire I
2
C-interfaced version, refer to the
MAX7300 data sheet.
For a pin-compatible port expander with additional
24mA constant-current LED drive capability, refer to the
MAX6957 data sheet.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
