I don't now if there is some information of Elan Microelectronics corp. on
the web. I found some information on a journal (in advertisement of ESCO, a
italian elettronics seller, see: http://www.gen.com/escocetri).
The EM 83010 is a port expander in a 18 pin package, you can connect up to
8 device on the
same I2C line. For me when you connect more EM 83010 on the same I2C line
the I/O pin decrease to 11 (3 pin for device address) but I'm not sure.
The EMC (Elan Microelectronics corp) make some CPU that are pin compatible
with PIC (EM78XXX).
Bye.
