Overview
Der Expand 12 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzkarte, die einen Multiport-E/A-Expander enthält. Diese Karte enthält den MAX7300, einen universellen E/A-Expander, der eine Remote-E/A-Erweiterung für die meisten MCU-Familien von Maxim Integrated, jetzt Teil von Analog Devices, bietet. Der MAX7300 ist in einer 28-Port-Konfiguration erhältlich und ermöglicht das einfache Hinzufügen von E/A über eine standardmäßige serielle I2C-Schnittstelle. Jeder Port ist vom Benutzer entweder als Logikeingang oder Logikausgang konfigurierbar und kann 10 mA aufnehmen und 4,5 mA liefern. Darüber hinaus verfügen sieben Ports über eine konfigurierbare Übergangserkennungslogik, die bei Änderung des Port-Logikpegels einen Interrupt generiert.
Das Expand 12 Click Board™ bietet eine einfache Lösung, wenn zusätzliche E/As benötigt werden und gleichzeitig die Verbindungen in Systemüberwachungsanwendungen, Industriesteuerungen, tragbaren Geräten und vielem mehr auf ein Minimum beschränkt bleiben.
How Does The Expand 12 Click Board™ Work?
The Expand 12 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the MAX7300, a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) expander from Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. This port expander is a simple solution when additional I/Os are needed while keeping interconnections to a minimum, particularly great for system monitoring applications, industrial controllers, portable equipment, and others. The MAX7300 comes in a 28-port configuration, which can be configured to any combination of logic inputs and logic outputs, and default to logic inputs on Power-Up.
Any I/O port can be configured as a push-pull output (sinking 10mA, sourcing 4.5mA) or a Schmitt-trigger logic input. Each input has an individually selectable internal pull-up resistor. Additionally, transition detection allows seven ports (from port 24 up to port 30) to be monitored in any maskable combination for changes in their logic status. A detected transition is flagged through a status register bit, as well as an interrupt pin (port 31) if desired.
The Expand 12 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface to read data and configure settings with a maximum frequency of 400kHz. Besides, it also allows the choice of the least significant bit of its I2C slave address by positioning the SMD jumpers labeled as ADDR SEL to an appropriate position marked as 1 and 0. This way, the MAX7300 provides the opportunity of the 16 possible different I2C addresses by positioning the SMD jumper to an appropriate position.
The Expand 12 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the I2C communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
