If the pins on the part you have chosen to connect the opto-coupler to are substantially similar to those on a bog standard 8051 then the comments I made regarding the use of the pullup resistors apply.

Besides all that.....resistors are cheap!! You can after all get the equivalent of about four 0402 sized resistors in a 1206 package, so board realestate should not be an argument!!

Hi Michael,

some 5 ducks are running around in my guarden and they indeed walk like they quack... ;-)

As Ijaz also already stated: indeed, I have to see the PCF8574 port behaviour the same as the 8051 port behaviour wrt input.

So, I will definitely follow your advice, since it has additional benefits, like shorter rise times and more defined behaviour.

PCB space etc. is not at all an issue for me. I will have plenty. I will anyhow not use SMD components, 'old fashioned components' will/have to do the job.

Thanks again for your useful advice,

Best rgds,

--Geert
