8-bit I2C LED driver with

PCA9551
DESCRIPTION
The PCA9551 LED Blinker blinks LEDs in I2C-bus and SMBus
applications where it is necessary to limit bus traffic or free up the
I2C Master’s (MCU, MPU, DSP, chipset, 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 PCA9551
LED Blinker instead requires only the initial set up command to
program BLINK RATE 1 and BLINK RATE 2 (i.e., 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 100 mA
per package.
FEATURES
• 8 LED drivers (on, off, flashing at a programmable rate)
• 2 selectable, fully programmable blink rates (frequency and duty
cycle) between 0.148 Hz and 38 Hz (6.74 and 0.026 seconds)
• Input/outputs not used as LED drivers can be used as regular
GPIOs
Any bits not used for controlling the LEDs can be used for General
Purpose Parallel Input/Output (GPIO) expansion.
• Internal oscillator requires no external components
• I2C-bus interface logic compatible with SMBus
• Internal power-on reset
• Noise filter on SCL/SDA inputs
• Active-LOW reset input
• 8 open drain outputs directly drive LEDs to 25 mA
• Edge rate control on outputs
• No glitch on power-up
• Supports hot insertion
• Low stand-by current
• Operating power supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V
• 0 to 400 kHz clock frequency
• ESD protection exceeds 2000 V HBM per JESD22-A114,
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 PCA9551 allow eight devices
to operate on the same bus.
150 V MM per JESD22-A115 and 1000 V CDM per JESD22-C101
• Latch-up testing is done to JESDEC Standard JESD78 which
exceeds 100 mA
• Packages offered: SO16, TSSOP16, HVQFN16

DEVICE ADDRESSING
CONTROL REGISTER DEFINITION
Following a START condition the bus master must output the
address of the slave it is accessing. The address of the PCA9551 is
shown in Figure 4. To conserve power, no internal pull-up resistors
are incorporated on the hardware selectable address pins and they
must be pulled HIGH or LOW.

PSC0 — FREQUENCY PRESCALER 01
Figure 5. Control register
The lowest 3 bits are used as a pointer to determine which register
will be accessed.
If the auto-increment flag is set, the three 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 ‘000’ after the last register is
accessed.
When auto-increment flag is set (AI = 1) and a read sequence is
initiated, the sequence must start by reading a register different from
‘0’ (B2 B1 B0 0 0 0 0)
Only the 3 least significant bits are affected by the AI flag.
Unused bits must be programmed with zeroes.

NOTE:
1. Prescaler calculation is different between the PCA9551 and
other PCA955x LED Blinkers. A divider ratio of 38 instead of 44
is used. This different divider ratio causes the blinking frequency
to be 13% (1 – 38/44) lower when the same 8-bit word is used.
The programmed value of the FREQUENCY PRESCALER must
be adjusted to compensate for this difference in applications
where the PCA9551 is used in conjunction with other PCA955x
LED Blinkers and the observed blinking frequencies need to be
the same.

The PWM0 register determines the duty cycle of BLINK0. The
outputs are HIGH (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 is: 256 – PWM0

NOTE:
1. Prescaler calculation is different between the PCA9551 and

to be 13% (1 – 38/44) lower when the same 8-bit word is used.
The programmed value of the FREQUENCY PRESCALER must
be adjusted to compensate for this difference in applications
where the PCA9551 is used in conjunction with other PCA955x
LED Blinkers and the observed blinking frequencies need to be
the same.
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.
POWER-ON RESET
When power is applied to VDD, an internal Power-On Reset holds
the PCA9551 in a reset condition until VDD has reached VPOR. At
this point, the reset condition is released and the PCA9551 registers
are initialized to their default states, all the outputs in the off state.
Thereafter, VDD must be lowered below 0.2 V to reset the device.

EXTERNAL RESET
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 (LED off).
A reset can be accomplished by holding the RESET pin LOW for a
minimum of tW. The PCA9551 registers and I2C state machine will
be held in their default state until the RESET input is once again
HIGH.
The duty cycle of BLINK1 is: 256 – PWM1

This input requires a pull-up resistor to VDD if no active connection is
used.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE I2C-BUS
Start and stop conditions
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.
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 7).
Bit transfer
System configuration
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 6).
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 8).

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.

Figure 13. Typical application
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 13. Since the LED acts as a
diode, when the LED is off the I/O VIN is about 1.2 V less than VDD. The supply current, IDD, increases as VIN becomes lower than VDD and is
specified as ∆IDD in the DC characteristics table.
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 14 shows a high value resistor in parallel with the LED. Figure 15 shows VDD less than the LED supply
voltage by at least 1.2 V. Both of these methods maintain the I/O VIN at or above VDD and prevents additional supply current consumption when
the LED is off.

2. tVD;ACK = time for Acknowledgement signal from SCL LOW to SDA (out) LOW.
3. tVD;DAT = minimum time for SDA data out to be valid following SCL LOW.
4. Resetting the device while actively communicating on the bus may cause glitches or errant STOP conditions.
5. Upon reset, the full delay will be the sum of tRESET and the RC time constant of the SDA bus.
