1. Article purpose[edit source]

The purpose of this article is to:

list the I/O expanders hardware components that might be integrated in the different STM32MPU boards
link these components to the corresponding software framework(s)
point to the datasheet(s) of these components
explain, when necessary, how to configure these components.

3. ST MFX (Multi-Function eXpander)[edit source]

The ST MFX is an STM32L152 slave controller whose firmware embeds an I/O expander feature with 16 GPIOs + 8 GPIOs extra if other features (resistive touchscreen controller and IDD measurement) are not enabled.

For details, refer to UM2535, chapter MFX IO expander.
