Product Overview

The TCA6424 is a Texas Instruments 24-bit I2C I/O expander in the Signal_Chain category. It uses a two-line bidirectional I2C / SMBus interface with SCL and SDA and supports Fast-mode I2C bus operation up to 400 kHz. GPIO expansion is organized as three 8-bit P-port groups: P00-P07, P10-P17, and P20-P27.

The device has separate recommended supply ranges for the I2C bus side and the P-port side. Both VCCI and VCCP operate from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. SCL and SDA high-level input voltage is specified from 0.7 x VCCI to 5.5 V, while ADDR, P-port, and RESET high-level input voltage is specified from 0.7 x VCCP to 5.5 V.

Output capability includes P-port high-level output current up to 10 mA and low-level output current up to 25 mA under recommended operating conditions. The TCA6424 is specified for -40 to 85 °C free-air operation and is supplied in an RGJ UQFN-32 package with a 5.00 mm x 5.00 mm body for compact board layouts.
