Key Features
Overview
Der Expand 8 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die einen Multi-Port-E/A-Expander mit bidirektionalen Ein-/Ausgängen enthält. Diese Platine verfügt über den MAX7317, einen 10-Port-E/A-Expander mit SPI-Schnittstelle und Überspannungs- und Hot-Insert-Schutz von Maxim Integrated. Der MAX7317 bietet Mikroprozessoren mit 10 E/A-Ports mit einer Nennspannung von 7 V. Jeder Port kann einzeln entweder als Open-Drain-Ausgang oder als überspannungsgeschützter Schmitt-Eingang konfiguriert werden, der Hot Insertion unterstützt. Alle Port-Pins bleiben im Power-Down-Modus hochohmig, wobei bis zu 8 V an ihnen anliegen. Dieses Click Board™ ist für den Einsatz als Port-Expander in Systemüberwachungsanwendungen, Industriesteuerungen, tragbaren Geräten und vielem mehr vorgesehen.
Erweitern 8 Klicken wird durch eine mikroSDK-kompatible Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.

How Does the Expand 8 Click Board™ work?
The Expand 8 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the MAX7317, a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) peripheral from Maxim Integrated that provides 10 I/O ports, P0 to P9, controlled through a high-speed SPI-compatible serial interface. Each port, P0 to P9 can be configured as open-drain, current-sink outputs rated at 20mA maximum, or as CMOS inputs, or as open-drain outputs. Loads should be connected to a supply voltage no higher than 7V.
The MAX7317 contains ten 8-bit internal registers. These ten registers are addressed as 0x00 - 0x09 control an I/O port each. Write 0x00 to the output register to set the port as a logic-low output, or 0x01 to set the port as a logic-high output or logic input.
Expand 8 Click communicates with MCU through a 16-bit 4-wire serial interface compatible with standard SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™ guaranteed to operate at 35Mbps on its 3.3V power supply. During the Power-Up sequence, all control registers of the MAX7317 are in a reset state. Power-Up status sets I/O ports, P0 to P9, into a high impedance state and puts the device into Shutdown mode. The I/O ports P0–P9 remains high impedance with up to 8V asserted on them when the MAX7317 is powered down. Therefore, it can be used in hot-swap applications.
This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before use with MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
