MCP23S08T-E

Microchip Tech · I/O Expanders · SSOP-20-208mil

MCP23S08T-E from Microchip Tech, in a SSOP-20-208mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 SCL/SCK input Serial clock input; on the MCP23S08 SPI variant this pin is SCK.
2 SDA/SI input Serial data input on the MCP23S08 (the MCP23008 uses this pin as bidirectional serial data I/O).
3 A2/SO output Serial data output on the MCP23S08; the datasheet lists this shared pin as I/O because it serves as hardware address A2 on the MCP23008.
4 A1 input Hardware address input that must be biased externally.
5 A0 input Hardware address input that must be biased externally.
6 RESET input External reset input that must be biased externally.
7 NC/CS input External chip select input on the MCP23S08; SPI write and read operations are started by lowering CS.
8 INT output Interrupt output that can be configured as active-high, active-low or open-drain.
9 VSS power_in Ground.
10 N/C unconnected No connect pin in the SSOP package.
11 N/C unconnected No connect pin in the SSOP package.
12 GP0 bidirectional Bidirectional I/O pin that can be enabled for interrupt-on-change and/or an internal weak pull-up resistor.
13 GP1 bidirectional Bidirectional I/O pin that can be enabled for interrupt-on-change and/or an internal weak pull-up resistor.
14 GP2 bidirectional Bidirectional I/O pin that can be enabled for interrupt-on-change and/or an internal weak pull-up resistor.
15 GP3 bidirectional Bidirectional I/O pin that can be enabled for interrupt-on-change and/or an internal weak pull-up resistor.
16 GP4 bidirectional Bidirectional I/O pin that can be enabled for interrupt-on-change and/or an internal weak pull-up resistor.
17 GP5 bidirectional Bidirectional I/O pin that can be enabled for interrupt-on-change and/or an internal weak pull-up resistor.
18 GP6 bidirectional Bidirectional I/O pin that can be enabled for interrupt-on-change and/or an internal weak pull-up resistor.
19 GP7 bidirectional Bidirectional I/O pin that can be enabled for interrupt-on-change and/or an internal weak pull-up resistor.
20 VDD power_in Power supply; the datasheet gives 1.8 V to 5.5 V at -40°C to +85°C, and 4.5 V to 5.5 V at -40°C to +125°C.
