4 bit address decoding I2C chip
Hello All-
This is a bit off topic as I am now asking for a chip recomendation. I am using multiple MCP23016s in a design and now I need more than the 8 which is addressable.
I looked into a PIC as a I2C slave (great examples) but I was wondering if anyone has used a chip like the 23016 but that has 4 address lines for a total of 16 I2C port expanders.
Otherwise I will start breadboarding the PIC I2C slave idea.
If this is not appropriate for this forum (as it is PICBasic/Pro), my apologies.
-Regards

Thanks! I considered the dual-clock pin idea. Have you done this? I just can not affort to have anything get wiggled on the non-clocked port expanders.
How would you use a CE for the 23016s?
I have looked again on the web but have not found any 4 channel addressing port expanders! You would think one would be made by someone?
