IO Expander (PCF8575) component

Provides 16 digital input/output pins arranged into 8-bit ports using a I2C bus connection. Up to eight expanders can be connected to the same I2C peripheral by means of three address pins. Supports the PCF8575 device allowing up to 8 expanders to be connected to the same I2C bus.

Fc9-type-16-icon.png External Address
Selects the value of the three address pins for the MCP23S17.

Channel selection 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Stop Delay
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications.
