Semtech SX1508B & SX1509B Ultra-Low Voltage GPIOs

Semtech SX1508B and SX1509B Ultra-Low Voltage GPIOs are general-purpose parallel input/output expanders ideal for low-power handheld battery-powered equipment. This family of GPIOs comes in 4-, 8-, and 16-channel configuration options and allows easy serial expansion of I/O through a standard 400kHz I2C interface. These devices come with a fully programmable LED Driver with an internal oscillator for enhanced lighting control. Keypad applications are also supported with an on-chip scanning engine that enables continuous keypad monitoring up to 64 keys without any additional host interaction reducing bus activity.

Features

  • Low 1.2V up to 5.5V operating voltage (depending on model) with dual independent I/O rails (VCC1, VCC2) enables direct level shifting between I/O banks and host controller
  • Integrated LED driver for enhanced lighting
    • 256-step PWM intensity control
    • 224 on/off values of blink control
    • 224 fade in/out values of breathing control

  • Open-drain active low interrupt output (NINT)
    • Bit maskable
    • Programmable edge sensitivity
  • Built-in clock management (internal 2MHz oscillator/external clock input, 7 clock values), OSCIO can be configured as GPO
  • 400kHz I2C compatible slave interface
