Microchip MCP230S09 GPIO (SPI)
Summary
SPI-controlled GPIO expander with 8 channels, configurable as inputs or outputs with optional pull-up resistors.
Description
The **MCP230S09** component provides 8 GPIO channels accessible over SPI. Each channel can be individually configured as a digital input or output, with optional pull-up resistors. This component is useful for expanding the number of digital I/O pins on a microcontroller, controlling LEDs, buttons, or other digital devices.
