**Low-voltage, 8-bit I[2] C-bus and SMBus I/O expander with interrupt output, reset, and configuration registers Rev. 1 — 27 September 2012** ## **PCA6408A** **Product data sheet** ## **1. General description** The PCA6408A is an 8-bit general purpose I/O expander that provides remote I/O expansion for most microcontroller families via the I[2] C-bus interface. NXP I/O expanders provide a simple solution when additional I/Os are needed while keeping interconnections to a minimum, for example, in battery-powered mobile applications for interfacing to sensors, push buttons, keypad, etc. In addition to providing a flexible set of GPIOs, it simplifies interconnection of a processor running at one voltage level to I/O devices operating at a different (usually higher) voltage level. The PCA6408A has built-in level shifting feature that makes these devices extremely flexible in mixed signal environments where communication between incompatible I/O voltages is required. Its wide VDD range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V on the dual power rail allows seamless communications with next-generation low voltage microprocessors and microcontrollers on the interface side (SDA/SCL) and peripherals at a higher voltage on the port side. There are two supply voltages for PCA6408A: VDD(I2C-bus) and VDD(P). VDD(I2C-bus) provides the supply voltage for the interface at the master side (for example, a microcontroller) and the VDD(P) provides the supply for core circuits and Port P. The bidirectional voltage level translation in the PCA6408A is provided through VDD(I2C-bus). VDD(I2C-bus) should be connected to the VDD of the external SCL/SDA lines. This indicates the VDD level of the I[2] C-bus to the PCA6408A. The voltage level on Port P of the PCA6408A is determined by the VDD(P). The PCA6408A consists of one 8-bit Configuration (input or output selection), Input, Output, and Polarity Inversion (active HIGH) register. At power-on, the I/Os are configured as inputs. However, 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, saving interrupts. The system master can reset the PCA6408A in the event of a time-out or other improper operation by asserting a LOW in the RESET input. The power-on reset puts the registers in their default state and initializes the I[2] C-bus/SMBus state machine. The RESET pin causes the same reset/initialization to occur without de-powering the part. The PCA6408A 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 I[2] C-bus. Thus, the PCA6408A can remain a simple slave device. **==> picture [172 x 101] intentionally omitted <==** **PCA6408A** **NXP Semiconductors** **Low-voltage, 8-bit I[2] C-bus and SMBus I/O expander** The device Port P outputs have 25 mA sink capabilities for directly driving LEDs while consuming low device current. One hardware pin (ADDR) can be used to program and vary the fixed I[2] C-bus address and allow up to two devices to share the same I[2] C-bus or SMBus. ## **2.

The Input port register is read only; writes to this register have no effect. The default value ‘X’ is determined by the externally applied logic level. An Input port register read operation is “ ” performed as described in Section 8.2 Read commands . **Table 7.

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. **Table 9.

The input voltage may be raised above VDD 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 VDD(P) or VSS. The external voltage applied to this I/O pin should not exceed the recommended levels for proper operation. **==> picture [381 x 284] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> data from output port<br>shift register register data<br>configuration<br>register<br>VDD(P)<br>data from D Q Q1<br>shift register<br>FF<br>write<br>D Q<br>configuration CK Q<br>pulse FF<br>P0 to P7<br>write pulse CK Q2 ESD<br>protection<br>output port diode<br>register input port<br>register VSS<br>D Q<br>input port<br>FF register data<br>read pulse CK<br>to INT<br>polarity<br>inversion<br>register<br>data from<br>D Q polarity<br>shift register inversion<br>FF register data<br>write polarity<br>CK<br>pulse<br>002aaf824<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> On power-up or reset, all registers return to default values. **Fig 7.

At that time, the reset condition is released and the PCA6408A registers and I[2] C-bus/SMBus state machine initialize to their default states. After that, VDD(P) must be lowered to below VPORF and back up to the operating voltage for a power-reset cycle. See Section 9.2 “Power-on reset ” requirements . ## **7.7 Reset input (RESET)** The RESET input can be asserted to initialize the system while keeping the VDD(P) at its operating level. A reset can be accomplished by holding the RESET pin LOW for a minimum of tw(rst). The PCA6408A registers and I[2] C-bus/SMBus state machine are changed to their default state once RESET is LOW (0). When RESET is HIGH (1), the I/O levels at the P port can be changed externally or through the master. This input requires a pull-up resistor to VDD(I2C-bus) if no active connection is used. ## **7.8 Interrupt output (INT)** An interrupt is generated by any rising or falling edge of the port inputs in the Input mode. After time tv(INT), the signal INT is valid. Resetting the interrupt circuit is achieved when data on the port is changed to the original setting or when data is read from the port that generated the interrupt (see Figure 11). 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. 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. The INT output has an open-drain structure and requires a pull-up resistor to VDD(P) or VDD(I2C-bus) depending on the application. INT should be connected to the voltage source of the device that requires the interrupt information. © NXP B.V. 2012. All rights reserved.

Bus transactions** The PCA6408A is an I[2] C-bus slave device. Data is exchanged between the master and PCA6408A through write and read commands using I[2] C-bus. The two communication 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. ## **8.1 Write commands** Data is transmitted to the PCA6408A by sending the device address and setting the Least Significant Bit (LSB) to a logic 0 (see Figure 5 for device address). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which register receives the data that follows the command byte. There is no limitation on the number of data bytes sent in one write transmission. **==> picture [423 x 134] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> SCL 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9<br>STOP<br>condition<br>slave address command byte data to port<br>AD<br>SDA S 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 A 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 A DATA 1 A P<br>DR<br>START condition R/W acknowledge acknowledge acknowledge<br>from slave from slave from slave<br>write to port<br>tv(Q)<br>data out from port DATA 1 VALID<br>002aaf825<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> **Fig 8.

The command byte is sent after the address and determines which register is to be accessed. After a restart the device address is sent again, but this time the LSB is set to a logic 1. Data from the register defined by the command byte then is sent by the PCA6408A (see Figure 10 and Figure 11). Data is clocked into the register on the rising edge of the ACK clock pulse. There is no limit on the number of data bytes received in one read transmission, but on the final byte received the bus master must not acknowledge the data. **==> picture [497 x 469] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> slave address command byte<br>SDA S 0 1 0 0 0 0 AD 0 A 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1/0 A (cont.)<br>DR<br>START condition R/W acknowledge<br>acknowledge from slave<br>from slave<br>slave address data from register data from register<br>(cont.)

Typical application<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## **9.1 Minimizing IDD when I/Os control LEDs** When the I/Os are used to control LEDs, normally they are connected to VDD(P) through a resistor as shown in Figure 12. The LED acts as a diode, so when the LED is off, the I/O VI is about 1.2 V less than VDD(P). The IDD parameter in Table 15 “Static characteristics” shows how IDD(P) increases as VI becomes lower than VDD(P). Designs that must minimize current consumption, such as battery power applications, should consider maintaining the I/O pins greater than or equal to VDD(P) when the LED is off. Figure 13 shows a high-value resistor in parallel with the LED. Figure 14 shows VDD(P) 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(P) and prevent additional supply current consumption when the LED is off. © NXP B.V. 2012. All rights reserved.

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”_ . ## **17.1 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. ## **17.2 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 ## **17.3 Wave soldering** Key characteristics in wave soldering are: - 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 © NXP B.V. 2012.

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 19 and 20 ## **Table 19. SnPb eutectic process (from J-STD-020C)** |**Package thickness (mm)**|**Package reflow temperature (****C)**|**Package reflow temperature (****C)**| |---|---|---| ||**Volume (mm3)**|| ||**< 350**|**350**| |< 2.5|235<br>220|| |2.5|220<br>220|| ## **Table 20.
