General Description
The MAX7326 2-wire serial-interfaced peripheral features 16 I/O ports. The ports are divided into 12 pushpull outputs and four input ports with selectable internal
pullups. Input ports are overvoltage protected to +6V
and feature transition detection with interrupt output.
The four input ports are continuously monitored for
state changes (transition detection). The interrupt is
latched, allowing detection of transient changes. Any
combination of inputs can be selected using the interrupt mask to assert the open-drain, +6V-tolerant INT
output. When the MAX7326 is subsequently accessed
through the serial interface, any pending interrupt is
cleared. The 12 push-pull outputs are rated to sink
20mA and are capable of driving LEDs. The RST input
clears the serial interace, terminating any I
2
C communi-
cation to or from the MAX7326.
The MAX7326 uses two address inputs with four-level
logic to allow 16 I2C slave addresses. The slave
address also sets the power-up default state for the 12
output ports and enables or disables internal 40kΩ
pullups in groups of two input ports.
The MAX7326 is one device in a family of pin-compatible
port expanders with a choice of input ports, open-drain
I/O ports, and push-pull output ports (see Table 1).
The MAX7326 is available in 24-pin QSOP and TQFN
packages and is specified over the -40°C to +125°C
automotive temperature range.

Detailed Description
MAX7319–MAX7329 Family Comparison
The MAX7324–MAX7327 family consists of four pincompatible, 16-port expanders that integrate the functions of the MAX7320 and one of either the MAX7319,
MAX7321, MAX7322, or MAX7323.
Functional Overview
The MAX7326 is a general-purpose port expander
operating from a +1.71V to +5.5V supply that provides
12 push-pull output ports with 20mA sink, 10mA source
drive capability, and four CMOS input ports that are
overvoltage protected to +6V. The MAX7326 is rated to
sink a total of 100mA and source a total of 50mA from
all 12 combined outputs.
The MAX7326 is set to two of 32 I
2
C slave addresses
(see Tables 2 and 3) using address inputs AD0 and
AD2, and is accessed over an I2C serial interface up to
400kHz. Eight outputs use a different slave address
from the other four outputs and four inputs. Eight pushpull outputs, O8–O15, use the 101xxxx addresses while
the four outputs O0, O1, O6, and O7 and inputs I2–I5
use addresses with 110xxxx. The RST input clears the
serial interface in case of a bus lockup, terminating any
serial transaction to or from the MAX7326.

Open-drain outputs can level shift the logic-high
state to a higher or lower voltage than V+ using
external pullup resistors, but pullups draw current
when output is low. Any open-drain port can be used
as an input by setting the open-drain output to logichigh. Transition flags identify which open-drain port
inputs have changed (even if only for a transient)
since the ports were last read.
