SX1501/SX1502/SX1503 4/8/16 Channel Low Voltage GPIO
SX1501/SX1502/SX1503
4/8/16 Channel Low Voltage GPIO with NINT and NRESET
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SX1501, SX1502 and SX1503 are complete ultra low voltage General Purpose parallel Input/Output (GPIO) expanders ideal for low power handheld battery powered equipment. They allow easy serial expansion of I/O through a standard I2C interface. GPIO devices can provide additional control and monitoring when the microcontroller or chipset has insufficient I/O ports, or in systems where serial communication and control from a remote location is advantageous.
These devices can also act as a level shifter to connect a microcontroller running at one voltage level to a component running at a different voltage level.
