* **I/O Expander**{#ioexpander}

+ An [I2C](#i2c) periph device that provides additional GPIO signals (anywhere
from 8 - 32 signals). GPIOs behind an I/O expander are written and read
- using I2C register accesses from the I2C master.
+ using I2C register accesses from the I2C controller.
* **I2C - Inter-Integrated Circuit**{#i2c}
A 2-wire synchronous communication bus, consisting of a clock signal and a
- bidirectional data signal. An I2C bus typically contains one master device
- and one more slave devices. The I2C standard defines supported clock speeds
- of 100 KHz and 400 KHz. The full [I2C Specification] is available from NXP
