Overview
Das Expand 14 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die einen Multiport-E/A-Expander enthält. Diese Platine verfügt über das CAT9555, ein CMOS-Gerät, das eine 16-Bit-Parallel-Eingangs-/Ausgangsanschlusserweiterung von ON Semiconductor bietet. Das CAT9555 enthält zwei 8-Bit-Konfigurationsanschlüsse (Eingang oder Ausgang), Eingangs-, Ausgangs- und Polaritätsumkehrregister sowie eine I2C-kompatible serielle Schnittstelle. Alle 16 E/As können durch Schreiben in das Konfigurationsregister als Eingang oder Ausgang konfiguriert werden. Es verfügt außerdem über einen Active-Low-Interrupt-Ausgang, der dem Host-Controller anzeigt, dass ein Eingangszustand geändert wurde. 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 14 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, einschließlich Funktionen, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ ist ein gründlich getestetes Produkt und kann auf einem System verwendet werden, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The Expand 14 Click Board™ Work?
The Expand 14 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the CAT9555, a general-purpose I/O expander from ON Semiconductor. It contains two 8-bit configuration ports (input or output), input, output, and polarity inversion registers, alongside an I2C-compatible serial interface, where any of the sixteen I/Os can be configured as an input or output by writing to the configuration register. This port expander represents a simple solution when additional I/Os are needed while keeping interconnections to a minimum; particularly great for sensors, power switches, LEDs, pushbuttons, and fans.
Each I/O port is 5V input tolerant, with a high current I/O drive sink of up to 25mA and an I/O source of up to 10mA, maximum. Additionally, each I/O port is compatible with logic thresholds of 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V.
The Expand 14 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400kHz. The CAT9555 has a 7-bit slave address with the first four MSBs fixed to 0100. The address pins A0, A1, and A2, are programmed by the user and determine the value of the last three LSBs of the slave address, which can be selected by positioning onboard SMD jumpers labelled as ADDR SEL to an appropriate position marked as 0 or 1.
Besides, it also features an active-low interrupt feature, routed to the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, indicating to the host controller that an input state has been changed.
The Expand 14 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 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.
