Lead expander - 4 channel - with I2C multiplexer - PCA9546 - STEMMA QT / Qwiic - Adafruit 5664

Module with a multiplexer manufactured by Adafruit and equipped with the PCA9546 chip, which is a replacement for the popular TCA9548A chip. The module allows you to connect up to 4 separate I2C digital buses to one microcontroller interface. The I2C bus address occupied by the multiplexer is 0x70 , it can also be configured in the range from 0x70 to 0x77 using jumpers located at the back of the module. The pinouts are STEMMA QT/Qwiic connectors, evenly spaced on both sides of the board.
