3 Description
This 16-bit I/O expander for the two-line bidirectional
bus (I2C) is designed for 2.3-V to 5.5-V VCC
operation. It provides general-purpose remote I/O
expansion for most microcontroller families via the I2C
interface [serial clock (SCL), serial data (SDA)].
The PCA9555 consists of two 8-bit Configuration
(input or output selection), Input Port, Output Port,
and Polarity Inversion (active high or active low
operation) registers. At power on, the I/Os are
configured as inputs. The system master can enable
the I/Os as either inputs or outputs by writing to the
I/O configuration bits. The data for each input or
output is kept in the corresponding Input or Output
register. The polarity of the Input Port register can be
inverted with the Polarity Inversion register. All
registers can be read by the system master.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The system master can reset the PCA9555 in the event of a timeout or other improper operation by utilizing the
power-on reset feature, which puts the registers in their default state and initializes the I2C/SMBus state machine.
The PCA9555 open-drain interrupt (INT) output is activated when any input state differs from its corresponding
Input Port register state and is used to indicate to the system master that an input state has changed.
INT can be connected to the interrupt input of a microcontroller. By sending an interrupt signal on this line, the
remote I/O can inform the microcontroller if there is incoming data on its ports without having to communicate via
the I2C bus. Thus, the PCA9555 can remain a simple slave device.
The device outputs (latched) have high-current drive capability for directly driving LEDs.
Although pin-to-pin and I2C-address is compatible with the PCF8575, software changes are required due to the
enhancements.
The PCA9555 is identical to the PCA9535, except for the inclusion of the internal I/O pullup resistor, which pulls
the I/O to a default high when configured as an input and undriven.
Three hardware pins (A0, A1, and A2) are used to program and vary the fixed I2C address and allow up to eight
devices to share the same I2C bus or SMBus. The fixed I2C address of the PCA9555 is the same as the
PCF8575, PCF8575C, and PCF8574, allowing up to eight of these devices in any combination to share the same
I2C bus or SMBus.

8.3 Device Features
8.3.1 Power-On Reset
When power (from 0 V) is applied to VCC, an internal power-on reset holds the PCA9555 in a reset condition until
VCC has reached VPOR. At that point, the reset condition is released and the PCA9555 registers and I2C/SMBus
state machine initialize to their default states. After that, VCC must be lowered to 0 V and then back up to the
operating voltage for a power-reset cycle.
Refer to the Power-On Reset Errata section.

Device Features (continued)
8.3.2 I/O Port
When an I/O is configured as an input, FETs Q1 and Q2 (in Figure 17) are off, creating a high-impedance input.
The input voltage may be raised above VCC to a maximum of 5.5 V.
If the I/O is configured as an output, Q1 or Q2 is enabled, depending on the state of the Output Port register. In
this case, there are low-impedance paths between the I/O pin and either VCC or GND. The external voltage
applied to this I/O pin should not exceed the recommended levels for proper operation.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Interrupt (INT) Output
An interrupt is generated by any rising or falling edge of the port inputs in the input mode. After time, tiv, the
signal INT is valid. Resetting the interrupt circuit is achieved when data on the port is changed to the original
setting, data is read from the port that generated the interrupt. Resetting occurs in the read mode at the
acknowledge (ACK) or not acknowledge (NACK) bit after the rising edge of the SCL signal.
Interrupts that occur during the ACK or NACK clock pulse can be lost (or be very short) due to the resetting of
the interrupt during this pulse. Each change of the I/Os after resetting is detected and is transmitted as INT.
Writing to another device does not affect the interrupt circuit, and a pin configured as an output cannot cause an
interrupt. Changing an I/O from an output to an input may cause a false interrupt to occur, if the state of the pin
does not match the contents of the Input Port register. Because each 8-pin port is read independently, the
interrupt caused by port 0 is not cleared by a read of port 1 or vice versa.
The INT output has an open-drain structure and requires pullup resistor to VCC.
8.4.1.1 Interrupt Errata
8.4.1.1.1 INT Description
The INT will be improperly de-asserted if the following two conditions occur:
i. The last I2C command byte (register pointer) written to the device was 00h.
NOTE
This generally means the last operation with the device was a Read of the input
register. However, the command byte may have been written with 00h without ever
going on to read the input register. After reading from the device, if no other command
byte written, it will remain 00h.
ii. Any other slave device on the I2C bus acknowledges an address byte with the R/W bit set high
8.4.1.1.2 System Impact
Can cause improper interrupt handling as the Master will see the interrupt as being cleared.
8.4.1.1.3 System Workaround
Minor software change: User must change command byte to something besides 00h after a Read operation to
the PCA9555 device or before reading from another slave device.
NOTE
Software change will be compatible with other versions (competition and TI redesigns) of
this device.

8.5 Programming
8.5.1 I2C Interface
The bidirectional I2C bus consists of the serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA) lines. Both lines must be
connected to a positive supply via a pullup resistor when connected to the output stages of a device. Data
transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
I2C communication with this device is initiated by a master sending a Start condition, a high-to-low transition on
the SDA input/output while the SCL input is high (see Figure 18). After the Start condition, the device address
byte is sent, MSB first, including the data direction bit (R/W). This device does not respond to the general call
address.
After receiving the valid address byte, this device responds with an ACK, a low on the SDA input/output during
the high of the ACK-related clock pulse. The address inputs (A0–A2) of the slave device must not be changed
between the Start and Stop conditions.
On the I2C bus, only one data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the high pulse of the clock period, as changes in the data line at this time are interpreted as control
commands (Start or Stop) (see Figure 19).
A Stop condition, a low-to-high transition on the SDA input/output while the SCL input is high, is sent by the
master (see Figure 18).
Any number of data bytes can be transferred from the transmitter to the receiver between the Start and the Stop
conditions. Each byte of eight bits is followed by one ACK bit. The transmitter must release the SDA line before
the receiver can send an ACK bit. The device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA line during the ACK
clock pulse so that the SDA line is stable low during the high pulse of the ACK-related clock period (see
Figure 20). When a slave receiver is addressed, it must generate an ACK after each byte is received. Similarly,
the master must generate an ACK after each byte that it receives from the slave transmitter. Setup and hold
times must be met to ensure proper operation.
A master receiver signals an end of data to the slave transmitter by not generating an acknowledge (NACK) after
the last byte has been clocked out of the slave. This is done by the master receiver by holding the SDA line high.
In this event, the transmitter must release the data line to enable the master to generate a Stop condition.

The last bit of the slave address defines the operation (read or write) to be performed. A high (1) selects a read
operation, while a low (0) selects a write operation.
8.5.2.2 Control Register And Command Byte
Following the successful acknowledgment of the address byte, the bus master sends a command byte that is
stored in the control register in the PCA9555. Three bits of this data byte state the operation (read or write) and
the internal register (input, output, polarity inversion, or configuration) that will be affected. This register can be
written or read through the I2C bus. The command byte is sent only during a write transmission.
Once a command byte has been sent, the register that was addressed continues to be accessed by reads until a
new command byte has been sent.

8.5.2.3 Register Descriptions
The Input Port registers (registers 0 and 1) reflect the incoming logic levels of the pins, regardless of whether the
pin is defined as an input or an output by the Configuration register. It only acts on read operation. Writes to
these registers have no effect. The default value, X, is determined by the externally applied logic level.
Before a read operation, a write transmission is sent with the command byte to indicate to the I2C device that the
Input Port register will be accessed next.

Default XXXXXXXX
Bit I1.7 I1.6 I1.5 I1.4 I1.3 I1.2 I1.1 I1.0
Default XXXXXXXX
The Output Port registers (registers 2 and 3) show the outgoing logic levels of the pins defined as outputs by the
Configuration register. Bit values in this register have no effect on pins defined as inputs. In turn, reads from this
register reflect the value that is in the flip-flop controlling the output selection, not the actual pin value.

Default 11111111
The Polarity Inversion registers (registers 4 and 5) allow polarity inversion of pins defined as inputs by the
Configuration register. If a bit in this register is set (written with 1), the corresponding port pin's polarity is
inverted. If a bit in this register is cleared (written with a 0), the corresponding port pin's original polarity is
retained.

The Configuration registers (registers 6 and 7) configure the directions of the I/O pins. If a bit in this register is
set to 1, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an input with a high-impedance output driver. If a bit in this
register is cleared to 0, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an output.

8.5.2.4 Bus Transactions
Data is exchanged between the master and the PCA9555 through write and read commands.
8.5.2.4.1 Writes
Data is transmitted to the PCA9555 by sending the device address and setting the least-significant bit to a logic 0
(see Figure 21 for device address). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which register
receives the data that follows the command byte.
The eight registers within the PCA9555 are configured to operate as four register pairs. The four pairs are input
ports, output ports, polarity inversion ports, and configuration ports. After sending data to one register, the next
data byte is sent to the other register in the pair (see Figure 23 and Figure 24). For example, if the first byte is
sent to output port (register 3), the next byte is stored in Output Port 0 (register 2).
There is no limitation on the number of data bytes sent in one write transmission. In this way, each 8-bit register
may be updated independently of the other registers.
Figure 23. Write To Output Port Registers
Figure 24. Write To Configuration Registers
8.5.2.4.2 Reads
The bus master first must send the PCA9555 address with the least-significant bit set to a logic 0 (see Figure 21
for device address). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which register is accessed.
After a restart, the device address is sent again, but this time, the least-significant bit is set to a logic 1. Data
from the register defined by the command byte then is sent by the PCA9555 (see Figure 25 through Figure 27).
After a restart, the value of the register defined by the command byte matches the register being accessed when
the restart occurred. For example, if the command byte references Input Port 1 before the restart, and the restart
occurs when Input Port 0 is being read, the stored command byte changes to reference Input Port 0. The original
command byte is forgotten. If a subsequent restart occurs, Input Port 0 is read first. Data is clocked into the
register on the rising edge of the ACK clock pulse. After the first byte is read, additional bytes may be read, but
the data now reflect the information in the other register in the pair. For example, if Input Port 1 is read, the next
byte read is Input Port 0.
Data is clocked into the register on the rising edge of the ACK clock pulse. There is no limitation on the number
of data bytes received in one read transmission, but when the final byte is received, the bus master must not
acknowledge the data.

9.2.2 Design Requirements
9.2.2.1 Minimizing ICC When I/O Is Used To Control Led
When an I/O is used to control an LED, normally it is connected to VCC through a resistor as shown in Figure 28.
Because the LED acts as a diode, when the LED is off, the I/O VIN is about 1.2 V less than VCC. The ΔICC
parameter in Electrical Characteristics shows how ICC increases as VIN becomes lower than VCC. For battery-
powered applications, it is essential that the voltage of I/O pins is greater than or equal to VCC when the LED is
off to minimize current consumption.
Figure 29 shows a high-value resistor in parallel with the LED. Figure 30 shows VCC less than the LED supply
voltage by at least 1.2 V. Both of these methods maintain the I/O VIN at or above VCC and prevent additional
supply current consumption when the LED is off.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
For printed circuit board (PCB) layout of the PCA9555, common PCB layout practices must be followed, but
additional concerns related to high-speed data transfer such as matched impedances and differential pairs
are not a concern for I2C signal speeds.
In all PCB layouts, it is a best practice to avoid right angles in signal traces, to fan out signal traces away
from each other upon leaving the vicinity of an integrated circuit (IC), and to use thicker trace widths to carry
higher amounts of current that commonly pass through power and ground traces. By-pass and de-coupling
capacitors are commonly used to control the voltage on the VCC pin, using a larger capacitor to provide
additional power in the event of a short power supply glitch and a smaller capacitor to filter out high-
frequency ripple. These capacitors must be placed as close to the PCA9555 as possible. These best
practices are shown in the Layout Example.
For the layout example provided in the Layout Example, it is possible to fabricate a PCB with only 2 layers by
using the top layer for signal routing and the bottom layer as a split plane for power (VCC) and ground (GND).
However, a 4 layer board is preferable for boards with higher density signal routing. On a 4 layer PCB, it is
common to route signals on the top and bottom layer, dedicate one internal layer to a ground plane, and
dedicate the other internal layer to a power plane. In a board layout using planes or split planes for power
and ground, vias are placed directly next to the surface mount component pad which needs to attach to VCC,
or GND and the via is connected electrically to the internal layer or the other side of the board. Vias are also
used when a signal trace needs to be routed to the opposite side of the board, but this technique is not
demonstrated in the Layout Example.

and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
