Product details
Overview
PI4IOE5V9555ZDEX from Diodes Incorporated is a 16-bit I²C-bus/SMBus I/O expander with 5V-tolerant GPIOs, active-low open-drain interrupt output, and individual I/O direction/polarity configuration. It operates from 2.3V to 5.5V, supports up to 400 kHz clock frequency, and delivers 8 mA low-level drive per I/O at 2.3V. Used in ACPI power switches, push-button interfaces, LED/fan control, and sensor monitoring in space-constrained embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the PI4IOE5V9555ZDEX datasheet, PI4IOE5V9555ZDEX pinout, PI4IOE5V9555ZDEX application, or PI4IOE5V9555ZDEX equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C address configurability (A0–A2), interrupt edge sensitivity on input state change, 5V tolerance on all I/Os, and dual-package availability (TQFN-24) for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The PI4IOE5V9555 implements two independent 8-bit I/O ports (Port 0 and Port 1), each with dedicated configuration, polarity inversion, input, and output registers. All registers are accessible via standard I²C read/write transactions using command-byte addressing.
Its interrupt logic activates only when an input-configured I/O changes state - not on output transitions - and clears upon reading the corresponding input port register. The device includes noise filtering on SCL/SDA inputs and a power-on reset that initializes all I/Os as high-impedance inputs with internal weak pull-ups to VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.3V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| I/O Drive Strength | 8 mA sink @ VOL = 0.5V (VCC = 2.3V) - sufficient to directly drive LEDs or small logic loads. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 0 Hz to 400 kHz - supports Fast Mode I²C for responsive host communication in real-time control loops. |
| Interrupt Output | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR connection with multiple expanders or system interrupt controllers. |
| ESD Protection | 4 kV HBM, 1 kV CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level ESD immunity. |
| Input Capacitance | 3.7 pF typical - minimizes signal distortion and timing skew on high-speed I²C buses. |
| Power-On Reset Threshold | 1.16V to 1.41V - ensures reliable initialization across wide VCC ramp rates and supply tolerances. |
Pinout & Package
PI4IOE5V9555ZDEX is packaged in a 4×4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch TQFN-24 (ZD) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin numbering follows top-view orientation per Diodes' mechanical drawing ZD.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INT (Pin 1) | Open-drain interrupt output | Asserts low when any input-configured I/O changes state; requires external pull-up for proper logic level. |
| A0–A2 (Pins 18, 2, 3) | I²C slave address inputs | Set 3-bit address bits (A2:A0) to select one of eight possible I²C addresses (0x20–0x27). |
| SCL (Pin 19) | I²C serial clock input | Accepts standard-mode (100 kHz) or fast-mode (400 kHz) clock; includes internal noise filter. |
| SDA (Pin 20) | I²C serial data bidirectional line | Open-drain interface compatible with multi-master I²C buses; filtered for noise immunity. |
| VCC (Pin 24) | Positive supply input | Supplies core logic and I/O buffers; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of pin. |
| GND (Pin 12) | Ground reference | Common return path for all digital and I/O currents; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| IO0_0–IO0_7 (Pins 4–11) | Port 0 general-purpose I/O | Individually configurable as input (high-Z + weak pull-up) or output (push-pull capable of 8 mA sink). |
| IO1_0–IO1_7 (Pins 13–17, 21–23) | Port 1 general-purpose I/O | Same functionality as Port 0; independent configuration and polarity inversion registers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-tolerant I/Os | Withstand up to 5.5V on any I/O pin regardless of VCC (2.3V–5.5V), enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing. |
| Polarity inversion registers | Per-bit inversion of input port data allows software-defined active-high/active-low signal interpretation without hardware changes. |
| Low standby current | 0.25 µA typical at VCC = 5.5V with all I/Os as inputs - critical for battery-powered IoT endpoint designs. |
| Configurable I²C address | Three address pins (A0–A2) support up to eight devices on same bus - scalable for multi-sensor or multi-peripheral nodes. |
| Noise-filtered SCL/SDA | Internal filtering rejects pulses <50 ns - suppresses EMI-induced glitches in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
Applications
| ACPI Power Management | Industrial Push-Button Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar I²C GPIO expander applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCA9555D,118 (NXP) | Same 16-bit I²C I/O architecture but lacks 5V tolerance; max VCC = 5.5V, I/Os rated only to VCC. | Requires level shifting when interfacing with 5V sensors or peripherals; unsuitable for mixed-voltage domains without added components. | Select when system operates exclusively at 3.3V and cost sensitivity outweighs voltage flexibility. |
| TCA6424AIPWR (TI) | Higher drive (25 mA sink), wider VCC range (1.65V–5.5V), but no built-in noise filtering on SCL/SDA. | Better suited for driving higher-current loads like relays, but more susceptible to I²C bus noise in EMI-heavy environments. | Select when stronger output drive is mandatory and board-level filtering can be added externally. |
Compared with PCA9555D and TCA6424AIPWR, PI4IOE5V9555ZDEX uniquely combines 5V-tolerant I/Os, integrated SCL/SDA noise filtering, and ultra-low standby current - making it optimal for compact, mixed-voltage, noise-sensitive industrial and computing peripherals.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of PI4IOE5V9555ZDEX devices supported on a single I²C bus?
Eight devices can share one I²C bus using address pins A0–A2, yielding up to 128 total I/O lines. Each device occupies a unique 7-bit address from 0x20 to 0x27, and all support standard and fast-mode I²C timing without arbitration conflicts.
Does PI4IOE5V9555ZDEX require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes - SDA and SCL are open-drain and require external pull-up resistors to VCC. Recommended values are 2.2 kΩ for 100 kHz and 1 kΩ for 400 kHz operation, sized to meet rise-time specifications while minimizing bus capacitance loading.
Can PI4IOE5V9555ZDEX I/O pins be used as analog inputs?
No - all 16 I/Os are strictly digital. They lack ADC functionality, analog multiplexing, or rail-to-rail input voltage measurement capability. The device supports only logic-level input detection and CMOS/TTL-compatible output driving.
How is the interrupt cleared after it triggers?
The INT pin de-asserts automatically only when the corresponding input port register (Port 0 or Port 1) is read via I²C. Reading one port does not clear interrupts from the other port - both must be read independently to fully clear pending events.
