Hardware DescriptionThe I2C Port Expander Evaluation Kit allows you to easily assess the following value propositions of Cypress' I2C port expander solutions:
Integration
Flexibility
Compatibility
Cypress' three I2C port expander devices (CY8C9520, CY8C9540, CY8C9560) have the following features:
Three compatible part families that seamlessly scale up or down
20, 40, or 60 individually configurable IO (widest range of IOs in the industry)
4, 8, or 16 PWMs that map to any pin or multiple pins (Widest range of PWMs in the industry)
3 Kbytes, 11 Kbytes, or 27 Kbytes of User EEPROM (largest amount of user-accessible serial EEPROM in the industry)
I2C communication up to 400 kHz
Industrial temp range: -40 to 85 degrees Celsius
Operating voltage: 3.0V - 5.25V
28-SSOP/48-SSOP/100-TQFP package options
Bottom line: One Cypress I2C Port Expander device replaces multiple port expander ICs from other vendors and flexibly integrates IO expansion, PWM functions and user EEPROM.
This kit also includes the I2C-USB Bridge, which allows hardware and software debugging of PSoC applications by seamlessly connecting your PC's USB port to your application's I2C interface.
