1. General description
The PCA9552 LED blinker blinks LEDs in I2C-bus and SMBus applications where it is
necessary to limit bus traffic or free up the I2C-bus master's (MCU, MPU, DSP, chip set,
etc.) timer. The uniqueness of this device is the internal oscillator with two programmable
blink rates. To blink LEDs using normal I/O expanders like the PCF8574 or PCA9554, the
bus master must send repeated commands to turn the LED on and off. This greatly
increases the amount of traffic on the I2C-bus and uses up one of the master's timers. The
PCA9552 LED blinker instead requires only the initial setup command to program
BLINK RATE 1 and BLINK RATE 2 (that is, the frequency and duty cycle) for each
individual output. From then on, only one command from the bus master is required to
turn each individual open-drain output on, off, or to cycle at BLINK RATE 1 or
BLINK RATE 2. Maximum output sink current is 25 mA per bit and 200 mA per package.
Any bits not used for controlling the LEDs can be used for General Purpose Parallel
Input/Output (GPIO) expansion.
The active LOW hardware reset pin (RESET) and Power-On Reset (POR) initializes the
registers to their default state, all zeroes, causing the bits to be set HIGH (LED off).
Three hardware address pins on the PCA9552 allow eight devices to operate on the same
bus.

5.2 Pin description
[1] HVQFN package die supply ground is connected to both VSS pin and exposed center pad. 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
printed-circuit board in the thermal pad region.

6. Functional description
Refer to Figure 1 “Block diagram of PCA9552”.
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 PCA9552 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.
The last bit of the address byte defines the operation to be performed. When set to logic 1
a read is selected, while a logic 0 selects a write operation.
6.2 Control Register
Following the successful acknowledgement of the slave address, the bus master will send
a byte to the PCA9552, which will be stored in the Control Register. This register can be
read and written via the I2C-bus.
The lowest 3 bits are used as a pointer to determine which register will be accessed.
If the Auto-Increment flag (AI) is set, the four 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 ‘0000’ after the last
register is accessed.
When the Auto-Increment flag is set (AI = 1) and a read sequence is initiated, the
sequence must start by reading a register different from ‘0' (B3 B2 B1 B0 0000).
Only the 4 least significant bits are affected by the AI flag. Unused bits must be
programmed with zeroes.

6.3.3 PCS0 - Frequency Prescaler 0
PSC0 is used to program the period of the PWM output.
The period of BLINK0 = (PSC0 + 1) / 44.
6.3.4 PWM0 - Pulse Width Modulation 0
The PWM0 register determines the duty cycle of BLINK0. The outputs are LOW (LED off)
when the count is less than the value in PWM0 and HIGH when it is greater. If PWM0 is
programmed with 00h, then the PWM0 output is always LOW.
The duty cycle of BLINK0 = (256 PWM0) / 256.
6.3.5 PCS1 - Frequency Prescaler 1
PSC1 is used to program the period of the PWM output.
The period of BLINK1 = (PSC1 + 1) / 44.
6.3.6 PWM1 - Pulse Width Modulation 1
The PWM1 register determines the duty cycle of BLINK1. The outputs are LOW (LED off)
when the count is less than the value in PWM1 and HIGH when it is greater. If PWM1 is
programmed with 00h, then the PWM1 output is always LOW.
The duty cycle of BLINK1 = (256 PWM1) / 256.

6.4 Pins used as GPIOs
LED pins not used to control LEDs can be used as general purpose I/Os (GPIOs).
For use as input, set LEDn to high-impedance (01) 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. LED 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 PCA9552 in
a reset condition until VDD has reached VPOR. At that point, the reset condition is released
and the PCA9552 registers are initialized to their default states. 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
PCA9552 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.

16-bit I2C-bus LED driver with programmable blink rates
7. 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).
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.)
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).

16-bit I2C-bus LED driver with programmable blink rates
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.

8. Application design-in information
8.1 Minimizing IDD when the I/O is 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 15. 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 Istb in Table 13 “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
input/output VIat or above VDD and prevents additional supply current consumption when
the LED is off.
LED0 to LED12 are used as LED drivers.
LED13 to LED15 are used as regular GPIOs.

14. Handling information
Inputs and outputs are protected against electrostatic discharge in normal handling.
However, to be completely safe you must take normal precautions appropriate to handling
integrated circuits.
15. Soldering
15.1 Introduction to soldering surface mount packages
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology. A more in-depth account of
soldering ICs can be found in our
Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages
(document order number 9398 652 90011).
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface mount IC packages. Wave
soldering can still be used for certain surface mount ICs, but it is not suitable for fine pitch
SMDs. In these situations reflow soldering is recommended.
15.2 Reflow soldering
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of fine solder particles, flux and
binding agent) to be applied to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement. Driven by legislation and
environmental forces the worldwide use of lead-free solder pastes is increasing.
Several methods exist for reflowing; for example, convection or convection/infrared
heating in a conveyor type oven. Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling)
vary between 100 seconds and 200 seconds depending on heating method.
Typical reflow peak temperatures range from 215 °Cto270°C depending on solder paste
material. The top-surface temperature of the packages should preferably be kept:
below 225 °C (SnPb process) or below 245 °C (Pb-free process)
for all BGA, HTSSON..T and SSOP..T packages
for packages with a thickness 2.5 mm
for packages with a thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume 350 mm3 so called
thick/large packages.
below 240 °C (SnPb process) or below 260 °C (Pb-free process) for packages with a
thickness < 2.5 mm and a volume < 350 mm3 so called small/thin packages.
Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on packing, must be respected at all times.
15.3 Wave soldering
Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended for surface mount devices
(SMDs) or printed-circuit boards with a high component density, as solder bridging and
non-wetting can present major problems.
To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering method was specifically
developed.
If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be observed for optimal results:
PCA9552_5 © Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. 2006. All rights reserved.
Product data sheet Rev. 05 — 9 March 2006 24 of 28
Philips Semiconductors PCA9552
16-bit I2C-bus LED driver with programmable blink rates
Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a turbulent wave with high upward
pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave.
For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):
larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis is preferred to be
parallel to the transport direction of the printed-circuit board;
smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis must be parallel to the
transport direction of the printed-circuit board.
The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the downstream end.
For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must be placed at a 45° angle to
the transport direction of the printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate
solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
During placement and before soldering, the package must be fixed with a droplet of
adhesive. The adhesive can be applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the adhesive is cured.
Typical dwell time of the leads in the wave ranges from 3 seconds to 4 seconds at 250 °C
or 265 °C, depending on solder material applied, SnPb or Pb-free respectively.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal of corrosive residues in most
applications.
15.4 Manual soldering
Fix the component by first soldering two diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage
(24 V or less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact time must be
limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 °C.
When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in one operation within
2 seconds to 5 seconds between 270 °C and 320 °C.

[2] All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the
maximum temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or
external package cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn
effect). For details, refer to the Drypack information in the
Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit
Packages; Section: Packing Methods
.
[3] These transparent plastic packages are extremely sensitive to reflow soldering conditions and must on no
account be processed through more than one soldering cycle or subjected to infrared reflow soldering with
peak temperature exceeding 217 °C±10 °C measured in the atmosphere of the reflow oven. The package
body peak temperature must be kept as low as possible.
[4] These packages are not suitable for wave soldering. On versions with the heatsink on the bottom side, the
solder cannot penetrate between the printed-circuit board and the heatsink. On versions with the heatsink
on the top side, the solder might be deposited on the heatsink surface.
[5] If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45° angle to the solder wave
direction. The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
[6] Wave soldering is suitable for LQFP, QFP and TQFP packages with a pitch (e) larger than 0.8 mm; it is
definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm.
[7] Wave soldering is suitable for SSOP, TSSOP, VSO and VSSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger
than 0.65 mm; it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5 mm.
[8] Image sensor packages in principle should not be soldered. They are mounted in sockets or delivered
pre-mounted on flex foil. However, the image sensor package can be mounted by the client on a flex foil by
using a hot bar soldering process. The appropriate soldering profile can be provided on request.
[9] Hot bar soldering or manual soldering is suitable for PMFP packages.
