PCF8574

[GEF68]

Hello,

I got confused with the component's datasheet

For I/Os; P0 to P7 it mentioned: OH HIGH-level output current VOH = VSS 30uA_min - 300uA max

Does it mean the device can operate in this range or ranges for devices can vary between 30uA to 300uA?

Thank you!

Hello,

I hope all is great with you. Thank you for using the NXP communities.

If the port is configured as output (high), this is the potential of the device. I mean, it can source up to 300uA.

I hope this information helps.

Regards,

Greetings,

One more question regarding the component performance. Per spec

IIHL(max) - maximum allowed input through protection diode -  =/- 400uA

and IOH = between 30uA up to 300uA 

My question is it possible to make all 8 outputs of PCF8574 in HIGH with output current 200uA per channel?

Hello,

Thank you so much for assisting with this component.

One more question: What is very initial condition (states) of I/O P0-P7?

Hello,

I am pleased to contact you again.

By default, the I/O pins are configured as input pins.

I hope this information helps.
