PCF8574 I2C to 8-Bit I/O Expander

The PCF8574 module is used to expand the input/output (I/O) ports over an I2C connection with 8-bit input/outputs. Use with microcontrollers (Arduino) over the I2C serial interface.

The device features an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port (P0–P7), including latched outputs with high current drive capability for directly driving LEDs. Each bidirectional I/O can be used as an input or output without the use of a data-direction control signal.

Three on-board jumpers allow for the selection of up to 8 I2C addresses, allowing up to 8 modules for 64 I/O pins can be connected to the same I2C interface. The module also features convenient input and output headers at each end so that additional modules can simply be daisy-chained without the need for additional wires.

To use this module with standard Arduino boards, download the HCPCF8574 library and example sketches.
