MCP23X17 EVALUATION BOARD USER’S GUIDE Chapter 1. Product Overview INTRODUCTION This chapter provides an overview of the MCP23X17 Evaluation Board and covers the following topics: • What is the MCP23X17 Evaluation Board? • What the MCP23X17 Evaluation Board kit includes...
• Headers for the MCP23X17 pins to allow evaluation in a user defined application. • Jumpers (not populated, but shorted by a trace on the bottom of the PCB) to isolate the MCP23X17 from the LEDs and buttons, so they can be evaluated in a custom circuit.
MCP23X17 Evaluation Board User’s Guide GETTING STARTED The MCP23X17 Evaluation Board is a fully functional, assembled and tested board for evaluation of the MCP23017 (I C interface) and MCP23S17 (SPI interface) general purpose I/O expanders. The following describes the basic setup and operation (see Figure 2-1): 1.
5. Headers - There are two headers which are connected to the MCP23X17 pins to allow off-board connections. 6. Jumpers - The jumpers are used to isolate the MCP23X17 pins so they can be connected to an off-board circuit. The jumpers are not populated, however, they are shorted by a trace on the bottom of the PCB.
