**MCP23018/MCP23S18**
## **1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW**
The MCP23X18 device provides 16-bit, general purpose parallel I/O expansion for I[2] C bus or SPI applications. The two devices differ only in the serial interface.
- MCP23018 - I[2] C interface
- MCP23S18 - SPI interface
The MCP23X18 consists of multiple 8-bit configuration registers for input, output and polarity selection. The system master can enable the I/Os as either inputs or outputs by writing the I/O configuration bits. The data for each input or output is kept in the corresponding input or output register. The polarity of the input port register can be inverted with the polarity inversion register. All registers can be read by the system master.
The 16-bit I/O port functionally consists of two (2) 8-bit ports (PORTA and PORTB). The MCP23X18 can be configured to operate in 8-bit mode or 16-bit mode via IOCON.BANK.
There are two interrupt pins, INTA and INTB which can be associated with their respective ports, or can be logically OR’ed together so both pins will activate if either port causes an interrupt.
The interrupt output can be configured to activate under two conditions (mutually exclusive):
1. When any input state differs from its corresponding input port register state. This is used to indicate to the system master that an input state has changed.
2. When an input state differs from a preconfigured register value (DEFVAL register).
The Interrupt Capture register captures port values at the time of the interrupt, thereby saving the condition that caused the interrupt.
The Power-on Reset (POR) sets the registers to their default values and initializes the device state machine.
The hardware address pin is used to determine the device address.

**MCP23018/MCP23S18**
## **1.2 Power-on Reset (POR)**
The on-chip POR circuit holds the device in reset until VDD has reached a high enough voltage to deactivate the POR circuit (i.e., release the device from reset). The maximum VDD rise time is specified in the electrical specification section.
When the device exits the POR condition (releases reset), device operating parameters (i.e., voltage, temperature, serial bus frequency, etc.) must be met to ensure proper operation.
## **1.3 Serial Interface**
This block handles the functionality of the I[2] C (MCP23018) or SPI (MCP23S18) interface protocol. The MCP23X18 contains twenty two (22) individual registers (eleven [11] register pairs) which can be addressed through the Serial Interface block (Table 1- 1).

## 1.3.1 BYTE MODE AND SEQUENTIAL MODE
The MCP23X18 has the ability to operate in “Byte Mode” or “Sequential Mode” (IOCON.SEQOP). Byte mode and sequential mode are not to be confused with I[2] C byte operations and sequential operations. The
modes explained here relate to the device’s internal address pointer and whether or not it is incremented after each byte is clocked on the serial interface.
**Byte Mode** disables automatic address pointer incrementing. When operating in Byte Mode, the MCP23X18 does not increment its internal address counter after each byte during the data transfer. This gives the ability to continually access the same address by providing extra clocks (without additional control bytes). This is useful for polling the GPIO register for data changes or for continually writing to the output latches.
A special mode **(Byte Mode with IOCON.BANK = 0)** causes the address pointer to toggle between associated A/B register pairs. For example, if the BANK bit is cleared and the address pointer is initially set to address 12h (GPIOA) or 13h (GPIOB), the pointer will toggle between GPIOA and GPIOB. Note, the address pointer can initially point to either address in the register pair.
**Sequential Mode** enables automatic address pointer incrementing. When operating in Sequential Mode, the MCP23X18 increments its address counter after each byte during the data transfer. The address pointer automatically rolls over to address 00h after accessing the last register.
These two modes are not to be confused with single writes/reads and continuous writes/reads which are serial protocol sequences. For example, the device may be configured for Byte Mode and the master may perform a continuous read. In this case, the MCP23X18 would not increment the address pointer and would repeatedly drive data from the same location.
## 1.3.2 I[2] C INTERFACE
## 1.3.2.1 I[2] C Write Operation
The I[2] C write operation includes the control byte and register address sequence, as shown in the bottom of Figure 1-1. This sequence is followed by eight bits of data from the master and an Acknowledge (ACK) from the MCP23018. The operation is ended with a stop (P) or restart (SR) condition being generated by the master.
Data is written to the MCP23018 after every byte transfer. If a stop or restart condition is generated during a data transfer, the data will not be written to the MCP23018.
Both “byte mode” and “sequential mode” are supported by the MCP23018. If sequential mode is enabled (default), the MCP23018 increments its address counter after each ACK during the data transfer.
DS22103A-page 7

## **MCP23018/MCP23S18**
## 1.3.2.2 I[2] C Read Operation
I[2] C read operations include the control byte sequence, as shown in the bottom of Figure 1-1. This sequence is followed by another control byte (including the Start condition and ACK) with the R/W bit equal to a logic one (R/W = `1` ). The MCP23018 then transmits the data contained in the addressed register. The sequence is ended with the master generating a Stop or Restart condition.
## 1.3.2.3 I[2] C Sequential Write/Read
For sequential operations (Write or Read), instead of transmitting a Stop or Restart condition after the data transfer, the master clocks the next byte pointed to by the address pointer (see **Section 1.3.1 “Byte Mode and Sequential Mode”** for details regarding sequential operation control).
The sequence ends with the master sending a Stop or Restart condition.
The MCP23018 address pointer will roll over to address zero after reaching the last register address.
Refer to Figure 1-1.
## 1.3.3 SPI INTERFACE
## 1.3.3.1 SPI Write Operation
The SPI write operation is started by lowering CS. The write command (slave address with R/W bit cleared) is then clocked into the device. The opcode is followed by an address and at least one data byte.
## 1.3.3.2 SPI Read Operation
The SPI read operation is started by lowering CS. The SPI read command (slave address with R/W bit set) is then clocked into the device. The opcode is followed by an address, with at least one data byte being clocked out of the device.
## 1.3.3.3 SPI Sequential Write/Read
For sequential operations, instead of deselecting the device by raising CS, the master clocks the next byte pointed to by the address pointer. (see **Section 1.3.1 “Byte Mode and Sequential Mode”** for details regarding sequential operation control).
The sequence ends by the raising of CS.
The MCP23S18 address pointer will roll over to address zero after reaching the last register address.

## **MCP23018/MCP23S18**
## **1.4 Multi-bit Address Decoder**
The ADDR pin is used to set the slave address of the MCP23018 (I[2] C only) to allow up to eight devices on the bus using only a single pin. Typically, this would require three pins.
The multi-bit Address Decoder employs a basic FLASH ADC architecture (Figure 1-4). The seven comparators generate 8 unique values based on the analog input. This value is converted to a 3-bit code which corresponds to the address bits (A2, A1, A0) in the serial OPCODE.
## **Sequence of Operation (see Figure 1-5 for timings):**
1. Upon power up (after VDD stabilizes) the module becomes active after time tADEN. Note, the analog value on the ADDR pin must be stable before this point to ensure accurate address assignment.
2. The 3-bit address is latched after tADDRLAT.
3. The module powers down after the first rising edge of the serial clock is detected (tADDIS).
Once the address bits are latched, the device will keep the slave address until a POR or reset condition occurs.
## 1.4.1 CALCULATING VOLTAGE ON ADDR
When calculating the required voltage on the ADDR pin (V2), the set point should be the mid-point of the LSb of the ADC.
The examples in Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3 show how to determine the mid point voltage (V2) and the range of voltages based on a voltage divider circuit. The maximum tolerance is 20%, however, it is recommended to use 5% tolerance worst case (10% total tolerance).

## **1.5 GPIO Port**
The GPIO module is a general purpose 16-bit wide bidirectional port which is functionally split into two (2) 8-bit wide ports.
The outputs are open-drain.
The GPIO module contains the data ports (GPIOn), internal pull up resistors and the Output Latches (OLATn).
The pull up resistors are individually configured and can be enabled when the pin is cofigured as an input or output.
Reading the GPIOn register reads the value on the port. Reading the OLATn register only reads the latches, not the actual value on the port.
Writing to the GPIOn register actually causes a write to the latches (OLATn). Writing to the OLATn register forces the associated output drivers to drive to the level in OLATn. Pins configured as inputs turn off the associated output driver and put it in high-impedance.

## **1.6 Configuration and Control Registers**
There are twenty two (22) registers associated with the MCP23X18 as shown in Table 1-4 and Table 1-5. The two tables show the register mapping with the two BANK bit values. Ten (10) registers are associated
with Port A and ten (10) are associated with Port B. One register (IOCON) is shared between the two ports. The Port A registers are identical to the Port B registers, therefore, they will be referred to without differentiating between the port designation (i.e., they will not have the “A” or “B” designator assigned) in the register tables.

**MCP23018/MCP23S18**
## 1.6.6 CONFIGURATION REGISTER
The IOCON register contains several bits for configuring the device:
The **BANK** bit changes how the registers are mapped (see Table 1-4 and Table 1-5 for more details).
- If BANK = 1, the registers associated with each port are segregated. Registers associated with PORTA are are mapped from address 00h - 0Ah and registers associated with PORTB are mapped from Address 10h - 1Ah
- If BANK = 0, the A/B registers are paired. For example, IODIRA is mapped to address 00h and IODIRB is mapped to the next address (address 01h). The mapping for all registers is from 00h - 15h
It is important to take care when changing the BANK bit as the address mapping changes after the byte is clocked into the device. The address pointer may point to an invalid location after the bit is modified.
For example, if the device is configured to automatically increment its internal address pointer the following scenario would occur:
- BANK = 0
- Write 80h to 0Ah (IOCON) to set the BANK bit
- After the write completes the internal address now points to 0Bh which is an invalid address when the BANK bit is set
For this reason, it is advised to only perform byte writes to this register when changing the BANK bit.
**Note:**
The INTB pin is not bonded out on the MCP23S18 (SPI) device in the 24-lead QFN package. The **MIRROR** bit must be configured to a “ `1` ” in order for interrupts to be detected on PORTB.
The **MIRROR** bit controls how the INTA and INTB pins function with respect to each other.
- When MIRROR = 1, the INTn pins are functionally OR’ed so that an interrupt on either port will cause both pins to activate
- When MIRROR = 0, the INT pins are separated. Interrupt conditions on a port will cause its respective INT pin to activate
The Sequential Operation ( **SEQOP** ) controls the incrementing function of the address pointer. If the address pointer is disabled, the address pointer does not automatically increment after each byte is clocked during a serial transfer. This feature is useful when it is desired to continuously poll (read) or modify (write) a register.
The Open-Drain ( **ODR** ) control bit enables/disables the INT pin for open-drain configuration.
The Interrupt Polarity ( **INTPOL** ) sets the polarity of the INT pin. This bit is functional only when the ODR bit is cleared, configuring the INT pin as active push-pull.
The Interrupt Clearing Control ( **INTCC** ) configures how interrupts are cleared. When set (INTCC = 1), the interrupt is cleared when the INTCAP register is read. When cleared (INTCC = 0), the interrupt is cleared when the GPIO register is read.
The interrupt can only be cleared when the interrupt condition is inactive. Refer to **Section 1.7.5 “Clearing Interrupts”** for details.

## **MCP23018/MCP23S18**
## **1.7 Interrupt Logic**
If enabled, the MCP23X18 activates the INTn interrupt output when one of the port pins changes state or when a pin does not match the pre-configured default. Each pin is individually configurable as follows:
- Enable/disable interrupt via GPINTEN
- Can interrupt on either pin change or change from default as configured in DEFVAL
Both conditions are referred to as Interrupt on Change (IOC).
The Interrupt Control (INT) Module uses the following registers/bits:
- IOCON.MIRROR - controls if the two interrupt pins mirror each other.
- GPINTEN - Interrupt enable register
- INTCON - Controls the source for the IOC
- DEFVAL - Contains the register default for IOC operation
## 1.7.1 INTA AND INTB
There are two interrupt pins, INTA and INTB. By default, INTA is associated with GPAn pins (Port A) and INTB is associated with GPBn pins (Port B). Each port has an independent signal which is cleared if its associated GPIO or INTCAP register is read.
## 1.7.1.1 Mirroring the INT pins
Additionally, the INTn pins can be configured to mirror each other so that any interrupt will cause both pins to go active. This is controlled via IOCON.MIRROR.
If IOCON.MIRROR = 0, the internal signals are routed independently to the INTA and INTB pads.
If IOCON.MIRROR = 1, the internal signals are OR’ed together and routed to the INTn pads. In this case, the interrupt will only be cleared if the associated GPIO or INTCAP is read (see Table 1-6).
**TABLE 1-6: INTERRUPT OPERATION (IOCON.MIRROR = 1)**
|**Interrupt**<br>**Condition**|**Read Port N***|**Interupt**<br>**Result**|
|---|---|---|
|GPIOA|Port A|Clear|
||Port B|Unchanged|
|GPIOB|Port A|Unchanged|
||Port B|Clear|
|GPIOA and<br>GPIOB|Port A|Unchanged|
||Port B|Unchanged|
||Both Port A<br>and Port B|Clear|
## 1.7.2 IOC FROM PIN CHANGE
If enabled, the MCP23X18 will generate an interrupt if a mismatch condition exists between the current port value and the previous port value. Only IOC enabled pins will be compared. See GPINTEN and INTCON registers.
## 1.7.3 IOC FROM REGISTER DEFAULT
If enabled, the MCP23X18 will generate an interrupt if a mismatch occurs between the DEFVAL register and the port. Only IOC enabled pins will be compared. See GPINTEN, INTCON, and DEFVAL registers.
## 1.7.4 INTERRUPT OPERATION
The INTn interrupt output can be configured as “active low”, “active high”, or “open drain” via the IOCON register.
Only those pins that are configured as an input (IODIR register) with interrupt-on-change (IOC) enabled (GPINTEN register) can cause an interrupt. Pins defined as an output have no effect on the interrupt output pin.
Input change activity on a port input pin that is enabled for IOC will generate an internal device interrupt and the device will capture the value of the port and copy it into INTCAP.
The first interrupt event will cause the port contents to be copied into the INTCAP register. Subsequent interrupt conditions on the port will not cause an interrupt to occur as long as the interrupt is not cleared by a read of INTCAP or GPIO.
## 1.7.5 CLEARING INTERRUPTS
The interrupt will remain active until the INTCAP or GPIO register is read (depending on IOCON.INTCC). Writing to these registers will not affect the interrupt. The interrupt condition will be cleared after the LSb of the data is clocked out during a Read command of GPIO or INTCAP (depending on IOCON.INTCC).
**Note:** Assuming IOCON.INTCC = 0 (INT cleared on GPIO read): The value in INTCAP can be lost if GPIO is read before INTCAP while another IOC is pending. After reading GPIO, the interrupt will clear and then set due to the pending IOC, causing the INTCAP register to update.
* Port n = GPIOn or INTCAPn

## 1.7.6 INTERRUPT CONDITIONS
There are two possible configurations to cause interrupts (configured via INTCON):
1. Pins configured for **interrupt-on-pin-change** will cause an interrupt to occur if a pin changes to the opposite state. The default state is reset after an interrupt occurs. For example, an interrupt occurs by an input changing from `1` to `0` . The new initial state for the pin is a logic `0` .
2. Pins configured for **interrupt-on-change from register value** will cause an interrupt to occur if the corresponding input pin differs from the register bit. The interrupt condition will remain as long as the condition exists, regardless if the INTAP or GPIO is read.
See Figure 1-11 and Figure 1-12 for more information on interrupt operations.

**Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:**
- Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
- Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.
- There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
- Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
- Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
