Product details

Active I²C GPIO expander in a 20-TSSOP footprint

The interrupt output (INT) signals the host when an input changes, eliminating the need for constant polling.

Supply voltage and I/O drive capability

The push-pull output structure means no external pull-up resistors on output lines, though the I²C bus lines themselves still need pull-ups per the I²C specification.

Frequently asked questions

Is PCF8574APWR the same as PCF8574?

No. The PCF8574APWR is the A-variant of the base PCF8574, with a different I²C slave address range (0x38–0x3F vs 0x20–0x27 for the original). The pinout and function are otherwise identical, but the address difference matters if you are replacing a PCF8574 on an existing bus.

Does PCF8574APWR have interrupt output?

Yes, the interrupt output (INT) is provided. It goes active low when any input changes state, allowing the host MCU to wake from sleep or trigger an interrupt service routine without polling the I²C bus.

Can PCF8574APWR be used with 3.3V microcontrollers?

Yes. The supply range of 2.5 V to 6 V covers 3.3 V operation, and the I²C interface is compatible with 3.3 V logic levels. No level translation is required.
