The PCA9538ABSHR/GT is a 8-pin CMOS device that provides 8 bits of general purpose parallel input and output (I/O) expansion for the two-line bidirectional bus (I2C). It is ideal for applications requiring I/O expansion, LED blink and dimming control, fan speed control, and various other applications. The PCA9538ABSHR/GT also provides hardware address pins that allow up to 4 devices to operate on the same bus. It operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V and is fully compatible with most microcontrollers and other devices that support I2C protocol. This device is also compliant with the Fast-mode Plus (FM+) I2C-bus, which allows for up to 1 MHz significantly faster communication compared to the normal I2C-bus speed. The PCA9538ABSHR/GT can also be used to store state and configuration data using the nonvolatile (NV) registers. Overall, the PCA9538ABSHR/GT offers a compact solution for I/O expansion and control in a wide range of applications.
