PCA9621D,118

PCA9621D,118 is a part of Interface - I/O Expanders. It is designed to extend the number of logical I/O lines of microcontrollers.It interfaces with all microcontrollers through a two-line I2C bus, and designed to operate as an expandable, Digital Remote System Management (DRSM) device. In this way, a number of PCA9621D,118-based modules can communicate together over a single I2C bus to extend the number of logical I/O lines and/or provide similar functionality of a single device across multiple locations.

The PCA9621D,118 includes 6 GPIOs with level shifters, allowing them to interface with voltages from 0 to 5.5 V. It has a wide operating temperature range from -40 to +125°C, allowing the use of led drivers outdoors.The PCA9621D,118 can be addressed as 1, 2, or 4 independent ports by using the 4-bit dip switch to set the slave address. Furthermore, it includes an Output Enable pin for power-saving, and an Interrupt pin, which can be connected to an MCU in order to inform host of GPIOs events.The PCA9621D,118 is able to support 1 million consecutive bus writes with no bus errors, which is ideal for applications with large data input.

The PCA9621D,118 is designed to extend the number of logical I/O lines of microcontrollers and increase the capabilities of existing microcontrollers. The use of PCA9621D,118 in applications such as automation and monitoring, robotics or sensor interfacing, allows a large number of external I/O pins to be connected and/or data to be streamed over a single I2C bus. Automation systems that require a large number of external I/O can benefit from the PCA9621D,118’s ability to expand to multiple ports, if needed.

Besides the automation applications, PCA9621D,118 can be used in embedded applications like industrial control, health care, building monitoring and security. Its low power consumption and high endurance makes it an ideal solution in small manufacturer controlled devices. With the support of I2C bus, the PCA9621D,118 can provide a single input and output bus interface to multiple devices. Also, the device can used to perform communication and control with embedded processors in applications such as automotive, home automation and medical.

The PCA9621D,118 working principle is that it is enabled by an Output Enable pin, and can be disabled when a logic 0 is applied to the pin. The PCA9621D,118\'s ports are configured through software and the value of logical I/O can be read or written to the PCA9621D,118 device through I2C bus commands. The PCA9621D,118 interfaces with all microcontrollers through a two-line I2C bus, and can be addressed as 1, 2, or 4 independent ports.It has six GPIOs with level shifters, allowing them to interface with voltages from 0 to 5.5 V. It includes an Interrupt pin, which can be connected to an MCU in order to inform host of GPIOs events.

In conclusion, the PCA9621D,118 is designed to extend the number of logical I/O lines of microcontrollers to increase the capabilities of existing microcontrollers. It can be used in various applications such as automation and monitoring, robotics, embedded applications and industrial control.
