This is an Arduino library for the Texas Instruments PCF8575C 16-bit I2C I/O expander.
The PCF8575C provides general-purpose remote I/O expansion for most microcontroller families via the I2C interface serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA).
The device features a 16-bit quasi-bidirectional input/output (I/O) port (P07..P00, P17..P10), including latched outputs with high-current drive capability for directly driving LEDs. Each quasi-bidirectional I/O can be used as an input or output without the use of a data-direction control signal. At power on, the I/Os are in 3-state mode. The strong pullup to VCC allows fast-rising edges into heavily loaded outputs. This device turns on when an output is written high and is switched off by the negative edge of SCL. The I/Os should be high before being used as inputs. After power on, as all the I/Os are set to 3-state, all of them can be used as inputs. Any change in setting of the I/Os as either inputs or outputs can be done with the write mode. If a high is applied externally to an I/O that has been written earlier to low, a large current (IOL) flows to GND.
The fixed I2C address of the PCF8575C (0x20) is the same as the PCF8575, PCF8574, PCA9535, and PCA9555, allowing up to eight of these devices, in any combination, to share the same I2C bus or SMBus.
Install the library into your Arduino IDE using the Library Manager (available from IDE version 1.6.2). Open the IDE and click Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries…
Scroll or search for I2cDiscreteIoExpander, then select the version of the library you want to install. Quit/re-launch the IDE to refresh the list; new versions are automatically added to the list, once released on GitHub.
Refer to Arduino Tutorials > Libraries Using the Library Manager.

This library has been tested with an Arduino Duemilanove and a Texas Instruments PCF8575C remote I/O expander.
Below is a simplified schematic diagram. Refer to the datasheet for specific requirements.

The library contains sketches that demonstrates use of the I2cDiscreteIoExpander library. You can find these in the examples folder.
#include <I2cDiscreteIoExpander.h>
// instantiate I2cDiscreteIoExpander object
I2cDiscreteIoExpander device;
void setup()
{
// initialize i2c interface
Wire.begin();
// initialize serial interface
Serial.begin(19200);
}
void loop()
{
uint8_t status;
static uint16_t i;
// display device information on serial console
Serial.print("Loop ");
Serial.print(++i, DEC);
Serial.print(", address ");
Serial.print(device.getAddress(), DEC);
Serial.print(", ");
// attempt to write 16-bit word
status = device.digitalWrite(i);
if (TWI_SUCCESS == status)
{
// display success information on serial console
Serial.print("write 0x");
Serial.print(i, HEX);
Serial.print(", ");
}
else
{
// display error information on serial console
Serial.print("write error ");
Serial.print(status, DEC);
Serial.print(", ");
}
// attempt to read 16-bit word
status = device.digitalRead();
if (TWI_SUCCESS == status)
{
// display success information on serial console
Serial.print("read 0x");
Serial.print(device.getPorts(), HEX);
Serial.println(".");
}
else
{
// display error information on serial console
Serial.print("read error ");
Serial.print(status, DEC);
Serial.println(".");
}
delay(1000);
}Conforms to Arduino IDE 1.5 Library Specification v2.1 which requires Arduino IDE >= 1.5.
