The PCF8575PWG4 (hereafter, PCF8575) is part of the extended family of PCF857x I/O expanders from NXP. PCF8575 is a 16-bit I/O expander that utilizes the 2- wire Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus for serial data communication. It adds sixteen I/O lines to any microcontroller that already contains an I2C master (or has one added externally) for enhanced system flexibility.

The PCF8575 is a high-speed, low-power CMOS I/O Expander designed for 2-wire bidirectional I2C-bus communication. It has a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V, allowing it to work either with 3.3 V or 5 V systems. It is pin-compatible with the PCF8574, and provides 16-bit I/O expansion at speeds of up to 400 kbit/s. The PCF8575 can operate as either an input or output port, depending on the setting of the corresponding register bit. Each I/O pin has independent pull-up/pull-down resistors available, as well as active-high/active-low selection, to allow custom configuration of the pins. With an eight bit pen control port, the PCF8575PWG4 allows for the easy expansion of existing I/O ports with 16 additional, individually-controlled I/O pins.

The main purpose of PCF8575 is for the expansion of an I/O port on a microcontroller. It allows for the expansion of existing I/O ports with sixteen additional, individually-controlled I/O pins. As this I/O expander only requires two pins to be used from the microcontroller, it further increases the flexibility of the system. It can also be used as an interface between two devices with different logical levels. This allows the I/O expander to be used to expand the I/O ports of a microcontroller and also to level-shift between two different logic families.

The working principle of PCF8575 is relatively simple. The microcontroller first sends a start signal (S) followed by a write byte (W) on the I2C bus. Then, it writes the data byte of the desired I/O port and reads back an acknowledge (ACK) from the PCF8575. Once the data byte is written, the microcontroller can issue a stop signal (P) and the I/O port is updated. The microcontroller can then issue a start signal (S) again, followed by a read byte (R) to read back the I/O port status. The PCF8575 then sends the data byte of the I/O port and the microcontroller sends an acknowledge (ACK) before the PCF8575 sends the stop signal (P) to end the read cycle.

The PCF8575 can be used in a wide variety of applications increasing the capability of any system with I2C bus. Some examples of application fields include; Automotive, Industrial & Process Control, Building Automation Solutions, Home Automation Systems, Safety Control Systems, Electronic Toys and Smart Lighting. The PCF8575 is a very versatile device and can be applied to a multitude of applications due to the wide variety of parameters setup, the two different voltage levels option and the I2C interface.

In conclusion, the PCF8575PWG4 I/O expander from NXP is a versatile, low-power and high-speed device that adds sixteen I/O lines to any microcontroller that already contains an I2C master. This I/O expander allows for the expansion of existing I/O ports with sixteen additional, individually-controlled I/O pins and can also be used as an interface between two devices with different logical levels. With a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V and a maximum speed of 400 kbit/s, the PCF8575 is an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
