Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | GPB0 | bidirectional | PORTB bit 0. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 2 | GPB1 | bidirectional | PORTB bit 1. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 3 | GPB2 | bidirectional | PORTB bit 2. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 4 | GPB3 | bidirectional | PORTB bit 3. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 5 | GPB4 | bidirectional | PORTB bit 4. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 6 | GPB5 | bidirectional | PORTB bit 5. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 7 | GPB6 | bidirectional | PORTB bit 6. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 8 | GPB7 | bidirectional | PORTB bit 7. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 9 | VDD | power_in | Positive supply voltage. Operating range 1.8 V to 5.5 V (industrial) or 4.5 V to 5.5 V (extended, -40 to +125°C). Bypass locally with 0.1 µF. |
| 10 | VSS | power_in | Ground reference (0 V). |
| 11 | CS | input | SPI chip select, active low. Frames a SPI transaction on the MCP23S17. |
| 12 | SCK | input | SPI serial clock input (up to 10 MHz). |
| 13 | SI | input | SPI serial data input (MOSI from host). |
| 14 | SO | output | SPI serial data output (MISO to host). Typically driven only during a read cycle. |
| 15 | A0 | input | Hardware address bit 0. Must be externally tied to VDD or VSS; combined with A1/A2 forms the SPI device address. |
| 16 | A1 | input | Hardware address bit 1. Must be externally tied to VDD or VSS. |
| 17 | A2 | input | Hardware address bit 2. Must be externally tied to VDD or VSS; up to 8 devices share the bus. |
| 18 | RESET | input | Hardware reset, active low. Must be tied high (or driven high) for normal operation; asserting low returns all registers to POR defaults. |
| 19 | INTB | output | Interrupt output for PORTB. Configurable as active-high, active-low, or open-drain (via IOCON register). |
| 20 | INTA | output | Interrupt output for PORTA. Configurable as active-high, active-low, or open-drain; can be mirrored with INTB. |
| 21 | GPA0 | bidirectional | PORTA bit 0. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 22 | GPA1 | bidirectional | PORTA bit 1. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 23 | GPA2 | bidirectional | PORTA bit 2. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 24 | GPA3 | bidirectional | PORTA bit 3. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 25 | GPA4 | bidirectional | PORTA bit 4. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 26 | GPA5 | bidirectional | PORTA bit 5. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 27 | GPA6 | bidirectional | PORTA bit 6. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |
| 28 | GPA7 | bidirectional | PORTA bit 7. Bidirectional I/O pin with optional interrupt-on-change and internal weak pull-up. |

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:
| File | Size | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
mcp23s17t-e.step |
362 KB | You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards. |

3.0 MB | You want the part with MCP23S17T-E already on it. |
The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 759 faces against 447 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
