- mikroBUS: I2C-Schnittstelle
Der Expand 10 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die einen E/A-Expander mit mehreren Anschlüssen enthält. Die Platine verfügt über den PCAL6524, einen 24-Bit-Universal-E/A-Expander, der eine Remote-E/A-Erweiterung für die meisten MCU-Familien über die Fast-Mode Plus I2C-Seriell-Schnittstelle von NXP Semiconductors bietet. Der PCAL6524 verfügt über eine integrierte Pegelverschiebungsfunktion, die ihn in Stromversorgungssystemen, in denen eine Kommunikation zwischen inkompatiblen E/A-Spannungen erforderlich ist, sehr flexibel macht. Er ermöglicht eine nahtlose Kommunikation mit Niederspannungs-Mikroprozessoren und Mikrocontrollern der nächsten Generation an der Schnittstelle und Peripheriegeräten mit höherer Spannung auf der Anschlussseite. Dieses Click Board™ bietet eine einfache Lösung, wenn zusätzliche E/As benötigt werden, während die Verbindungen in Systemüberwachungsanwendungen, Industriesteuerungen, tragbaren Geräten und vielem mehr auf ein Minimum beschränkt bleiben.
Das Expand 10 Click Board™ 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 10 Click Board™ Work?
The Expand 10 Click Board™ is based on the PCAL6524, a 24-bit ultra-low-voltage translating general-purpose I/O expander from NXP Semiconductors. This port expander is a simple solution for 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 PCAL6524 has a built-in level shifting feature that makes it highly flexible in power supply systems where communication between incompatible I/O voltages is required.
The PCAL6524 implements Agile I/O features specifically designed to enhance the I/O. These additional features are programmable output drive strength, latchable inputs, programmable pull-up/pull-down resistors, maskable interrupt, interrupt status register, programmable open-drain or push-pull outputs.
The Expand 10 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface to read data and configure settings, supporting a Fast Mode Plus operation up to 1MHz. At the Power-On sequence, the I/Os are configured as inputs. However, the host MCU can enable the I/Os as inputs or outputs by writing to the I/O configuration bits. In addition to I2C communication, two GPIO pins connected to the mikroBUS™ socket pins are also used.
The reset pin, routed to the RST pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, is used to place the PCAL6524 registers in their default state, while the interrupt, routed to the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, may be configured as an interrupt to notify the host MCU of incoming data on any port. Besides, it also allows the choice of the least significant bit of its I2C slave address by positioning the SMD jumper labelled as ADDR SEL to an appropriate position marked as 1 and 0.
This 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.

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
mikroSDK
The Expand 10 Click board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
