Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA8574/74A provide general purpose remote I/O expansion for most
microcontroller families via the two-line bidirectional I
2
C-bus (serial clock (SCL), serial
data (SDA)).
The devices consist of an 8-bit quasi-bidirectional port and an I
2
C-bus interface. The
PCA8574/74A have low current consumption and include latched outputs with 25 mA high
current drive capability for directly driving LEDs.
The PCA8574/74A also possess an interrupt line (INT) that can be connected to the
interrupt logic of the microcontroller. By sending an interrupt signal on this line, the remote
I/O can inform the microcontroller if there is incoming data on its ports without having to
communicate via the I
2
C-bus.
The internal Power-On Reset (POR) initializes the I/Os as inputs.
