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 PCA9555consists 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
register. The polarity of the read register can be inverted with the Polarity Inversion
register. All registers can be read by the system master. Although pin-to-pin and I2C-bus
address compatible with the PCF8575, software changes are required due to the
enhancements, and are discussed in
Application Note AN469
.
2.Features
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.

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.
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
register is cleared (written with a ‘0’), the Input port data polarity is retained.
Product data sheetRev. 08 — 22 October 20097 of 34
NXP Semiconductors
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.
When power is applied to VDD, an internal power-on reset holds the PCA9555 in a reset
condition until VDDhas reached V
. At that point, the reset condition is released and the
POR
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 V
. However, when it is required to reset the part by lowering the power
POR
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 8 “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
register in the pair (see Figure 10 and Figure 11). For example, if the first byte is sent to
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.

6.5.2 Reading the port registers
In order to read data from the PCA9555, the bus master must first send the PCA9555
address with the least significant bit set to a logic 0 (see Figure 8 “PCA9555 device
address”). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which register will
be accessed. After a restart, the device address is sent again, but this time the least
significant bit is set to a logic 1. Data from the register defined by the command byte will
then be sent by the PCA9555 (see Figure 12, Figure 13 and Figure 14). Data is clocked
into the register on the falling edge of the acknowledge clock pulse. After the first byte is
read, additional bytes may be read but the data will now reflect the information in the other
register in the pair. For example, if you read Input Port 1, then the next byte read would be
Input Port 0. There is no limitation on the number of data bytes received in one read
transmission but the final byte received, the bus master must not acknowledge the data.

6.5.3 Interrupt output
The open-drain interrupt output is activated when one of the port pins changes state and
the pin is configured as an input. The interrupt is deactivated when the input returns to its
previous state or the Input Port register is read (see Figure 13). A pin configured as an
output cannot cause an interrupt. Since each 8-bit port is read independently,the interrupt
caused by Port 0 will not be cleared by a read of Port 1 or the other way around.
Remark: 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.
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
PCA9555
16-bit I2C-bus and SMBus I/O port with interrupt
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 15).
SDA
SCL
Fig 15. 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 16).

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 17).

RECEIVER
Fig 17. 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
LOWduring the HIGH period of the acknowledge related clock pulse; set-up time and hold
time 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.

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
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
Product data sheetRev. 08 — 22 October 200928 of 34
NXP Semiconductors
• Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
• 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
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
PCA9555
16-bit I2C-bus and SMBus I/O port with interrupt
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 32) than a SnPb process, thus
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 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 16 and 17

times.

16.2 Soldering by dipping or by solder wave
Driven by legislation and environmental forces the worldwide use of lead-free solder
pastes is increasing. 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.
The total contact time of successive solder waves must not exceed 5 seconds.
The device may be mounted up to the seating plane, but the temperature of the plastic
body must not exceed the specified maximum storage temperature (T
printed-circuit board has been pre-heated, forced cooling may be necessary immediately
after soldering to keep the temperature within the permissible limit.

16.3 Manual soldering
Apply the soldering iron (24 V or less) to the lead(s) of the package, either below the
seating plane or not more than 2 mm above it. If the temperature of the soldering iron bit is
less than 300 °C it may remain in contact for up to 10 seconds. If the bit temperature is
between 300 °C and 400 °C, contact may be up to 5 seconds.
