Product Overview

The PCA9554 is a Texas Instruments 8-bit I2C SMBus I/O expander in the Signal_Chain category. It provides P0 through P7 I/O ports and communicates over a fast I2C bus at 400 kHz. Three address pins, A0 through A2, allow up to eight devices on the same I2C/SMBus interface.

The device operates from a recommended 2.3 to 5.5 V supply and across a -40 to 85 °C operating free-air temperature range. I/O pins are 5 V tolerant, and power-up behavior configures all channels as inputs with weak pullup to VCC. Internal registers include configuration, input, output, and polarity inversion registers readable by the system master.

Package options include SSOP (16) 6.20 mm x 5.30 mm, VQFN (16) 4.00 mm x 4.00 mm, and QFN (16) 3.00 mm x 3.00 mm. The open-drain, active-low INT output is activated when an input state differs from the Input Port register state, supporting interrupt-driven I/O monitoring.
