Product details

On-chip EEPROM and POR — saving board space

Integrated EEPROM stores user data. Power-on reset circuit holds I/Os in a known state until supply stabilises.

Active lifecycle — no LTB risk for new designs

Active lifecycle status. No last-time-buy notice or end-of-life risk. ROHS3 compliant.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between PCA9501BS and PCA9500BS?

The PCA9501BS adds an integrated EEPROM and a power-on reset (POR) circuit. The PCA9500BS omits these features but is otherwise pin-compatible and functionally identical for basic GPIO expansion. If you need non-volatile storage for configuration or a clean power-up state without an external supervisor, choose the PCA9501BS; otherwise, the PCA9500BS is a cost-reduced alternative.

Is PCA9501BS compatible with 3.3V logic?

Yes. The supply voltage range of 2.5V to 3.6V covers the 3.3V rail directly. The I2C and GPIO pins are 3.3V-tolerant, so no level shifter is needed when the host microcontroller runs at 3.3V.
