PCA9531 8-bit I2C-bus LED dimmer Rev. 06 -- 19 February 2009 Product data sheet 1. General description The PCA9531 is an 8-bit I2C-bus and SMBus I/O expander optimized for dimming LEDs in 256 discrete steps for Red/Green/Blue (RGB) color mixing and back light applications. The PCA9531 contains an internal oscillator with two user programmable blink rates and duty cycles coupled to the output PWM. The LED brightness is controlled by setting the blink rate high enough (> 100 Hz) that the blinking cannot be seen and then using the duty cycle to vary the amount of time the LED is on and thus the average current through the LED. The initial setup sequence programs the two blink rates/duty cycles for each individual PWM. From then on, only one command from the bus master is required to turn individual LEDs ON, OFF, BLINK RATE 1 or BLINK RATE 2. Based on the programmed frequency and duty cycle, BLINK RATE 1 and BLINK RATE 2 will cause the LEDs to appear at a different brightness or blink at periods up to 1.69 second. The open-drain outputs directly drive the LEDs with maximum output sink current of 25 mA per bit and 100 mA per package. To blink LEDs at periods greater than 1.69 second the bus master (MCU, MPU, DSP, chip set, etc.) must send repeated commands to turn the LED on and off as is currently done when using normal I/O expanders like the NXP Semiconductors PCF8574 or PCA9554. Any bits not used for controlling the LEDs can be used for General Purpose parallel Input/Output (GPIO) expansion, which provides a simple solution when additional I/O is needed for ACPI power switches, sensors, push-buttons, alarm monitoring, fans, etc. The active LOW hardware reset pin (RESET) and Power-On Reset (POR) initializes the registers to their default state causing the bits to be set HIGH (LED off). Three hardware address pins on the PCA9531 allow eight devices to operate on the same bus. 2.

VSS pin must be connected to supply ground for proper device operation. For enhanced thermal, electrical, and board level performance, the exposed pad needs to be soldered to the board using a corresponding thermal pad on the board and for proper heat conduction through the board, thermal vias need to be incorporated in the PCB in the thermal pad region. 6. Functional description Refer to Figure 1 "Block diagram of PCA9531". 6.1 Device address Following a START condition, the bus master must output the address of the slave it is accessing. The address of the PCA9531 is shown in Figure 5. To conserve power, no internal pull-up resistors are incorporated on the hardware selectable address pins and they must be pulled HIGH or LOW. slave address 1 1 0 0 fixed A2 A1 A0 R/W hardware selectable 002aac505 Fig 5.

Control register The lowest 3 bits are used as a pointer to determine which register will be accessed. If the Auto-Increment flag is set, the three low order bits of the Control register are automatically incremented after a read or write. This allows the user to program the registers sequentially. The contents of these bits will rollover to `000' after the last register is accessed. When Auto-Increment flag is set (AI = 1) and a read sequence is initiated, the sequence must start by reading a register different from the Input register (B2 B1 B0 0 0 0). Only the 3 least significant bits are affected by the AI flag. Unused bits must be programmed with zeroes. 6.2.1 Control register definition Table 3.

For use as input, set LEDn to high-impedance (00) and then read the pin state via the Input register. For use as output, connect external pull-up resistor to the pin and size it according to the DC recommended operating characteristics. LEDn output pin is HIGH when the output is programmed as high-impedance, and LOW when the output is programmed LOW through the `LED selector' register. The output can be pulse-width controlled when PWM0 or PWM1 are used. 6.5 Power-on reset When power is applied to VDD, an internal Power-On Reset (POR) holds the PCA9531 in a reset condition until VDD has reached VPOR. At that point, the reset condition is released and the PCA9531 registers are initialized to their default states, all the outputs in the OFF state. Thereafter, VDD must be lowered below 0.2 V to reset the device. 6.6 External RESET A reset can be accomplished by holding the RESET pin LOW for a minimum of tw(rst). The PCA9531 registers and I2C-bus state machine will be held in their default states until the RESET input is once again HIGH. This input requires a pull-up resistor to VDD if no active connection is used. PCA9531_6 Product data sheet (c) NXP B.V. 2009. All rights reserved.

Characteristics of the I2C-bus The I2C-bus is for 2-way, 2-line communication between different ICs or modules. The two lines are a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). Both lines must be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor when connected to the output stages of a device. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy. 7.1 Bit transfer One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse as changes in the data line at this time will be interpreted as control signals (see Figure 7). SDA SCL data line stable; data valid Fig 7. change of data allowed mba607 Bit transfer 7.1.1 START and STOP conditions Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy. A HIGH-to-LOW transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START condition (S). A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP condition (P) (see Figure 8). SDA SCL S P START condition STOP condition mba608 Fig 8. Definition of START and STOP conditions 7.2 System configuration A device generating a message is a `transmitter'; a device receiving is the `receiver'. The device that controls the message is the `master' and the devices which are controlled by the master are the `slaves' (see Figure 9). PCA9531_6 Product data sheet (c) NXP B.V. 2009.

System configuration 7.3 Acknowledge The number of data bytes transferred between the START and the STOP conditions from transmitter to receiver is not limited. Each byte of eight bits is followed by one acknowledge bit. The acknowledge bit is a HIGH level put on the bus by the transmitter, whereas the master generates an extra acknowledge related clock pulse. A slave receiver which is addressed must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte. Also a master must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter. The device that acknowledges has to pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge related clock pulse; set-up and hold times must be taken into account. A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP condition. data output by transmitter not acknowledge data output by receiver acknowledge SCL from master 1 S START condition 2 8 9 clock pulse for acknowledgement 002aaa987 Fig 10.

Typical application 8.1 Minimizing IDD when the I/Os are used to control LEDs When the I/Os are used to control LEDs, they are normally connected to VDD through a resistor as shown in Figure 14. Since the LED acts as a diode, when the LED is off the I/O VI is about 1.2 V less than VDD. The supply current, IDD, increases as VI becomes lower than VDD and is specified as IDD in Table 12 "Static characteristics". Designs needing to minimize current consumption, such as battery power applications, should consider maintaining the I/O pins greater than or equal to VDD when the LED is off. Figure 15 shows a high value resistor in parallel with the LED. Figure 16 shows VDD less than the LED supply voltage by at least 1.2 V. Both of these methods maintain the I/O VI at or above VDD and prevents additional supply current consumption when the LED is off. VDD VDD LED 100 k LEDn VDD 5V LED LEDn 002aac189 Fig 15.

Handling information All input and output pins are protected against ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) under normal handling. When handling ensure that the appropriate precautions are taken as described in JESD625-A or equivalent standards. 15. Soldering of SMD packages This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 "Surface mount reflow soldering description". 15.1 Introduction to soldering Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high densities that come with increased miniaturization. 15.2 Wave and reflow soldering Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following: * Through-hole components * Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also, leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered, due to an increased probability of bridging. The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages, packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable. Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are: * * * * * * Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation The moisture sensitivity level of the packages Package placement Inspection and repair Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering 15.3 Wave soldering Key characteristics in wave soldering are: PCA9531_6 Product data sheet (c) NXP B.V. 2009. All rights reserved. Rev. 06 -- 19 February 2009 22 of 27 PCA9531 NXP Semiconductors 8-bit I2C-bus LED dimmer * Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are exposed to the wave * Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities 15.4 Reflow soldering Key characteristics in reflow soldering are: * Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 26) than a SnPb process, thus reducing the process window * Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process window for a mix of large and small components on one board * Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with Table 14 and 15 Table 14. SnPb eutectic process (from J-STD-020C) Package thickness (mm) Package reflow temperature (C) Volume (mm3) < 350 350 < 2.5 235 220 2.5 220 220 Table 15.
