NXP PCA9554 8-bit I2C and SMBus I/O expander with an interrupt output, up to eight on one bus, in a small 16-pin package.

The PCA9554 is an NXP CMOS device that provides 8 bits of general-purpose parallel input and output expansion for the I2C bus and the SMBus, in a 16-pin package. It is the smaller member of the NXP I2C I/O expander family, and it gives a small host eight extra ports that it can read or drive over the two-wire bus, with an interrupt output that tells the host when an input changes. The device includes an internal power-on reset, a set of configuration registers that make each port an input or an output, and a strong sink and source current that suits an LED or a small load. Three address pins allow up to eight expanders on one bus, so a designer can add I/O in blocks of eight where sixteen would be wasted, and the ESD protection and the industrial temperature range suit a control and a consumer application. The small 16-pin package keeps the board tight where only a few extra ports are needed. Typical applications include a consumer and an appliance product, an industrial control board and a small instrument that must add a few buttons, LEDs or control lines. Every device BeiLuo ships is factory-traceable and includes an import declaration, a certificate of origin and a RoHS compliance file. Our FAE team helps you choose the ports and plan the addressing and the pull-ups.

FAE Professional Review

The PCA9554 is the eight-port version of the NXP I2C expander, useful when a design needs a few extra I/O lines rather than sixteen, and its 16-pin package keeps the board small. The interrupt output saves the host from polling. Use the address pins to place several on one bus, and keep the pull-ups and the capacitance in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

What projects suit the PCA9554?

It suits a design that must add a few I/O ports to a small host over the I2C bus where sixteen would be wasted, such as a consumer product, a small control board or an instrument panel with a few buttons and LEDs.

Our FAE team can help plan the ports.

Request this device for your design

PCA9554 or PCA9555?

Choose the PCA9554 for eight ports in a small 16-pin package and the PCA9555 for sixteen ports, both with an interrupt and up to eight on one bus. Choose by the number of lines you must add and the board space.

Our FAE team can help choose.
