NXP Semiconductors PCA9555 Operational manual

1. General description

The PCA9555 is a 24-pin CMOS device that provides 16 bits of General Purpose parallel

Input/Output (GPIO) expansion for I2C-bus/SMBus applications and was developed to

enhance the NXP Semiconductors family of I2C-bus I/O expanders. The improvements

include higher drive capability, 5 V I/O tolerance, lower supply current, individual I/O

configuration, and smaller packaging. I/O expanders provide a simple solution when

additional I/O is needed for ACPI power switches, sensors, push buttons, LEDs, fans, etc.

The PCA9555 consists of two 8-bit Configuration (Input or Output selection); Input, Output

and Polarity Inversion (active HIGH or active LOW operation) registers. 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

address compatible with the PCF8575, software changes are required due to the

enhancements, and are discussed in Application Note AN469.

The PCA9555 open-drain interrupt 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. The power-on reset sets the registers to their default values

and initializes the device state machine.

Three hardware pins (A0, A1, A2) vary the fixed I2C-bus address and allow up to eight

devices to share the same I2C-bus/SMBus. The fixed I2C-bus address of the PCA9555 is

the same as the PCA9554, allowing up to eight of these devices in any combination to

share the same I2C-bus/SMBus.

5.2 Pin description

[1] HVQFN and HWQFN package die supply ground is connected to both the VSS pin and the exposed center

pad. The 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.

6.2.2 Registers 0 and 1: Input port registers

This register is an input-only port. It reflects the incoming logic levels of the pins,

regardless of whether the pin is defined as an input or an output by Register 3. Writes to

this register have no effect.

The default value ‘X’ is determined by the externally applied logic level.

6.2.3 Registers 2 and 3: Output port registers

This register is an output-only port. It reflects the outgoing logic levels of the pins defined

as outputs by Registers 6 and 7. 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.

6.2.4 Registers 4 and 5: Polarity Inversion registers

This register allows the user to invert the polarity of the Input port register data. If a bit in

this register is set (written with ‘1’), the Input port data polarity is inverted. If a bit in this

6.2.5 Registers 6 and 7: Configuration registers

This register configures the directions of the I/O pins. If a bit in this register is set (written

with ‘1’), the corresponding port pin is enabled as an input with high-impedance output

driver. If a bit in this register is cleared (written with ‘0’), the corresponding port pin is

enabled as an output. Note that there is a high value resistor tied to VDD at each pin. At

reset, the device's ports are inputs with a pull-up to VDD.

6.3 Power-on reset

When power is applied to VDD, an internal power-on reset holds the PCA9555 in a reset

condition until VDD has reached VPOR. At that point, the reset condition is released and the

PCA9555 registers and SMBus state machine will initialize to their default states. The

power-on reset typically completes the reset and enables the part by the time the power

supply is above VPOR. However, when it is required to reset the part by lowering the power

supply, it is necessary to lower it below 0.2 V.

6.4 I/O port

When an I/O is configured as an input, FETs Q1 and Q2 are off, creating a

high-impedance input with a weak pull-up to VDD. The input voltage may be raised above

VDD to a maximum of 5.5 V.

If the I/O is configured as an output, then either Q1 or Q2 is on, depending on the state of

the Output Port register. Care should be exercised if an external voltage is applied to an

I/O configured as an output because of the low-impedance path that exists between the

pin and either VDD or VSS.

6.5.1 Writing to the port registers

Data is transmitted to the PCA9555 by sending the device address and setting the least

significant bit to a logic 0 (see Figure 7 “PCA9555 device address”). The command byte is

sent after the address and determines which register will receive the data following 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 will be sent to the other

Output Port 1 (register 3), then the next byte will be 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.

At power-on reset, all registers return to default values.
