PCF8576T/1,118 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of the I2C bus that the PCF8576T can support?
  The PCF8576T can support I2C bus frequencies up to 400 kHz.
• How do I reset the PCF8576T?
  The PCF8576T can be reset by pulling the SCL line low for at least 2 clock cycles.
• What is the maximum current that the PCF8576T can sink or source?
  The PCF8576T can sink or source up to 25 mA of current per I/O pin.
• Can the PCF8576T be used as an input port expander?
  Yes, the PCF8576T can be used as an input port expander by configuring the I/O pins as inputs and reading their states using the I2C interface.
• How do I handle multiple PCF8576T devices on the same I2C bus?
  Each PCF8576T device can be assigned a unique address by connecting the A0, A1, and A2 pins to VCC or GND, allowing multiple devices to share the same I2C bus.
