Product Overview

The TCA9535 is a Texas Instruments 16-bit I2C I/O expander in the Signal_Chain category. It provides an I2C or SMBus interface to 16-bit parallel I/O using P00-P07 and P10-P17. The device supports a 400 kHz fast I2C bus and has three hardware address pins, A0, A1, and A2, allowing up to 8 devices on the same bus.

Recommended operation spans a 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply and -40°C to 85°C free-air temperature. The I/O ports are 5 V tolerant, power on configured as inputs, and do not include internal I/O pull-up resistors. Unused port pins should be tied to VCC or GND through about a 10 kΩ resistor.

Package choices include TSSOP-24 7.80 mm x 4.40 mm, SSOP-24 6.20 mm x 5.30 mm, WQFN-24 4.00 mm x 4.00 mm, and VQFN-24 4.00 mm x 4.00 mm. The open-drain active-low INT output supports interrupt-based monitoring for input changes in I2C/SMBus-controlled parallel I/O designs.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for TCA9535, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For analog and signal-chain sourcing, supply voltage, bandwidth, accuracy, noise level, package, temperature grade, input/output configuration and qualification requirements should be verified before approval.
