Steps to communicate to PCF8574 IO expander

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PCF8574

Hello,

I am using three PCF8574 IO expander as slaves and PIC18F4620 as Master. In My application, I have to switch ON relays connected at 8 port pins in a IO expander So, in My case, I am going to use all port pins in IO expander as output (write mode only). For that, Should I send any command bytes to configure port pin direction? and What data should I send to switch on relays connected after master addressing slave. I didn't get that configuration details from datasheet. Below is the schematic that I have used in My application. Please suggest a solution.

Hi Shankar,

welcome to our forum.
Are you certain the PCF8754 is a device from TI?

I am moving your post to the I2C forum.

Hi Shankar,

alright. Now I see it. There was a typo in the part number. I updated the thread title and your post above to show the correct part number.
I will let my colleagues from the I2C forum answer your question.

Hi Joachim Wurker,

I tried with PCF8574P from NXP. This is working fine with My I2C code. Please tell me what is the difference between Your part and NXP part. I compared those two parts datasheet. I don't see any difference between two parts. I think that I received the faulty parts from Distributor. Please let me know where is mistake.

Thanks,

Muthu

Hi Muthu,

I am sorry, but I am not an expert on those I2C IO expanders.
One of my colleagues from the Interface team will have to comment on your question.
