Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | GPB0 | bidirectional | Port B bit 0. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up (typ. 75 uA @ VDD=5V). Default is input after POR/RESET. |
| 2 | GPB1 | bidirectional | Port B bit 1. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 3 | GPB2 | bidirectional | Port B bit 2. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 4 | GPB3 | bidirectional | Port B bit 3. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 5 | GPB4 | bidirectional | Port B bit 4. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 6 | GPB5 | bidirectional | Port B bit 5. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 7 | GPB6 | bidirectional | Port B bit 6. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 8 | GPB7 | bidirectional | Port B bit 7. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. On MCP23017 this pin can also be forced to output-only via configuration. |
| 9 | VDD | power_in | Positive supply. Operating range 1.8V-5.5V (@ -40 to +85 C); 2.7V-5.5V (@ -40 to +85 C) and 4.5V-5.5V (@ -40 to +125 C) for higher speed grades. Max 125 mA into VDD. |
| 10 | VSS | power_in | Device ground reference. Also the tie point for the exposed pad on QFN. |
| 11 | NC | unconnected | No connect on MCP23017 (this pin functions as /CS Chip Select on the MCP23S17 SPI variant). Leave floating or tie to VSS. |
| 12 | SCL | input | I2C serial clock input. Schmitt-trigger input with VIL <= 0.2VDD and VIH >= 0.8VDD. Requires external pull-up. Supports 100 kHz / 400 kHz / 1.7 MHz modes. Datasheet Table 2-1 labels this pin 'SCK' since it is shared with the SPI variant. |
| 13 | SDA | bidirectional | I2C serial data. Open-drain bidirectional, Schmitt-trigger input. Requires external pull-up. VOL <= 0.8V @ IOL=3 mA at VDD=4.5V. |
| 14 | NC | unconnected | No connect on MCP23017 (this pin functions as SO Serial Data Out on the MCP23S17 SPI variant). Leave floating. |
| 15 | A0 | input | Hardware I2C slave-address bit 0. TTL-buffer input; must be externally biased to VDD or VSS (do not float). Combines with A1/A2 to select 1 of 8 device addresses on the shared bus. |
| 16 | A1 | input | Hardware I2C slave-address bit 1. TTL-buffer input; must be externally biased. |
| 17 | A2 | input | Hardware I2C slave-address bit 2. TTL-buffer input; must be externally biased. |
| 18 | RESET | input | Active-low hardware reset input. Schmitt-trigger; must be externally biased (typically tied to VDD through a pull-up if unused). Minimum low pulse width TRSTL = 1 us. |
| 19 | INTB | output | Interrupt output for Port B. Configurable via IOCON as active-high, active-low, or open-drain. Can be OR'd with INTA to a single line via IOCON.MIRROR. VOL <= 0.6V @ IOL=1.6 mA. |
| 20 | INTA | output | Interrupt output for Port A. Configurable via IOCON as active-high, active-low, or open-drain. Can be OR'd with INTB via IOCON.MIRROR. |
| 21 | GPA0 | bidirectional | Port A bit 0. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. Default is input after POR/RESET. |
| 22 | GPA1 | bidirectional | Port A bit 1. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 23 | GPA2 | bidirectional | Port A bit 2. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 24 | GPA3 | bidirectional | Port A bit 3. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 25 | GPA4 | bidirectional | Port A bit 4. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 26 | GPA5 | bidirectional | Port A bit 5. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 27 | GPA6 | bidirectional | Port A bit 6. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 28 | GPA7 | bidirectional | Port A bit 7. Bidirectional I/O with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. Can be forced to output-only on MCP23017. |
