Input/Output (GPIO) expansion for I
enhance the NXP Semiconductors family of I
provide a simple solution when additional I/O is needed for ACPI power switches,
sensors, push buttons, LEDs, fans, etc.
The PCA9536 consists of a 4-bit Configuration register (input or output selection), 4-bit
Input Port register, 4-bit Output Port register and a 4-bit Polarity Inversion register
(active HIGH or active LOW operation). 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 Port or Output Port register. The polarity of the read
register can be inverted with the Polarity Inversion register. All registers can be read by
the system master.
The power-on reset sets the registers to their default values and initializes the device state
machine.

6.1.2 Register 0 - Input Port register
This register is a read-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 ‘X’ is determined by the externally applied logic level, normally logic 1 when
no external signal externally applied because of the internal pull-up resistors.

6.1.3 Register 1 - Output Port register
This register reflects the outgoing logic levels of the p ins defined as outpu ts by Register 3.
Bit values in this register have no effect on pins defined as input s. Reads from this register
return the value that is in the flip-flop controlling the output selection, not the actual pin
value.
‘Not used’ bits can be programmed with either logic 0 or logic 1.

This register configures the directions of the I/O pins. If a bit in this register is set, the
corresponding port pin is enabled as an input with high-impedance output driver. If a bit in
this register is cleared, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an output. At reset, the
I/Os are configured as inputs with a weak pull-up to V

13. 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.
14. 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”.
14.1 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.
PCA9536
4-bit I2C-bus and SMBus I/O port
14.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by so lder 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. Leade d 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
Product data sheetRev. 6 — 7 November 2017 18 of 24
NXP Semiconductors
• Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
• Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities
14.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• L ead-free versus SnPb sold ering; note that a lea d-free reflow process usually leads to
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is

higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 19
reducing the process window
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
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 joint s (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

times.

soldering, see Figure 19
