18-Port GPIO with LED Intensity Control,
Interrupt, and Hot-Insertion Protection
General Description
The MAX7314 I
2
C-compatible serial interfaced periph-
eral provides microprocessors with 16 I/O ports plus one
output-only port and one input-only port. Each I/O port
can be individually configured as either an open-drain
current-sinking output rated at 50mA and 5.5V, or a logic
input with transition detection. The output-only port can
be assigned as an interrupt output for transition detec-
tion. The outputs are capable of driving LEDs, or provid-
ing logic outputs with external resistive pullup up to 5.5V.
Eight-bit PWM current control is built in for all 17 output
ports. A 4-bit global control applies to all LED outputs
and provides coarse adjustment of current from fully off
to fully on with 14 intensity steps in between. Each out-
put has an individual 4-bit control, which further divides
the globally set current into 16 more steps.
Alternatively, the current control can be configured as a
single 8-bit control that sets all outputs at once.
Each output has independent blink timing with two blink
phases. All LEDs can be individually set to be on or off
during either blink phase, or to ignore the blink control.
The blink period is controlled by a clock input (up to 1kHz)
on BLINK or by a register. The BLINK input can also be
used as a logic control to turn the LEDs on and off, or as a
general-purpose input.
The MAX7314 supports hot insertion. All port pins, the
INT
output, SDA, SCL,
RST,
BLINK, and the slave
address input ADO remain high impedance in power-
down (V+ = 0V) with up to 6V asserted upon them.
The MAX7314 is controlled through a 2-wire serial inter-
face, and uses four-level logic to allow four I
2
C
addresses from only one select pin.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
