IO expander hardware components
Contents
1 Article purpose[edit]
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.
2 Software frameworks[edit]

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