Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
8-bit I/O expander with I2C/SMBus interface operating up to 400kHz. Provides 8 independently programmable input/output pins with internal pull-ups, addressing up to 8 devices per bus. Ideal for applications requiring GPIO expansion in I2C-based systems with limited microcontroller pins.
Package: TSSOP-16 (4.4×5mm) · 16 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
The 0.65mm pitch makes hand soldering difficult and error-prone; a breakout board lets you solder standard headers instead. This package hosts precision analog and mixed-signal ICs like DACs and ADCs that benefit from clean PCB layouts and decoupling placement. Prototyping becomes faster with breadboard-compatible pin headers, eliminating the need for a custom carrier PCB.
