Working Principles

The MAX7328AAP+T is an I/O expander that communicates with the host system using the I2C interface. It acts as a bridge between the microcontroller or microprocessor and external devices by providing additional I/O pins. The device can be controlled and configured through software commands sent over the I2C bus. When a change in input state is detected on any of the I/O pins, an interrupt signal is generated to notify the host system.
