PCA9538PWR

Texas Instruments · I/O Expanders · TSSOP-16

PCA9538PWR from Texas Instruments, in a TSSOP-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A0 input I2C address input 0; connect to VCC or GND to set slave address.
2 A1 input I2C address input 1; connect to VCC or GND to set slave address.
3 RESET input Active-low reset input; 4 ns minimum pulse width; requires pullup resistor to VCC if unused.
4 P0 bidirectional I/O port bit 0; configurable as high-Z input or push-pull output; 5 V tolerant; maximum sink current 25 mA per pin.
5 P1 bidirectional I/O port bit 1; configurable as high-Z input or push-pull output; 5 V tolerant; maximum sink current 25 mA per pin.
6 P2 bidirectional I/O port bit 2; configurable as high-Z input or push-pull output; 5 V tolerant; maximum sink current 25 mA per pin.
7 P3 bidirectional I/O port bit 3; configurable as high-Z input or push-pull output; 5 V tolerant; maximum sink current 25 mA per pin.
8 GND power_in Ground (0 V reference).
9 P4 bidirectional I/O port bit 4; configurable as high-Z input or push-pull output; 5 V tolerant; maximum sink current 25 mA per pin.
10 P5 bidirectional I/O port bit 5; configurable as high-Z input or push-pull output; 5 V tolerant; maximum sink current 25 mA per pin.
11 P6 bidirectional I/O port bit 6; configurable as high-Z input or push-pull output; 5 V tolerant; maximum sink current 25 mA per pin.
12 P7 bidirectional I/O port bit 7; configurable as high-Z input or push-pull output; 5 V tolerant; maximum sink current 25 mA per pin.
13 INT tri_state Open-drain interrupt output; asserts low when configured input port changes; requires pullup resistor to VCC.
14 SCL tri_state I2C serial clock bus; open-drain output; requires pullup resistor to VCC.
15 SDA tri_state I2C serial data bus; open-drain output; requires pullup resistor to VCC.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage; operating range 2.3 V to 5.5 V.
