PCA9635 16-bit Fm+ I2C-bus LED driver Rev. 06 — 11 September 2008 Product data sheet 1. General description The PCA9635 is an I2C-bus controlled 16-bit LED driver optimized for Red/Green/Blue/Amber (RGBA) color mixing applications. Each LED output has its own 8-bit resolution (256 steps) fixed frequency individual PWM controller that operates at 97 kHz with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0 % to 99.6 % to allow the LED to be set to a specific brightness value. An additional 8-bit resolution (256 steps) group PWM controller has both a fixed frequency of 190 Hz and an adjustable frequency between 24 Hz to once every 10.73 seconds with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0 % to 99.6 % that is used to either dim or blink all LEDs with the same value. Each LED output can be off, on (no PWM control), set at its individual PWM controller value or at both individual and group PWM controller values. The LED output driver is programmed to be either open-drain with a 25 mA current sink capability at 5 V or totem-pole with a 25 mA sink, 10 mA source capability at 5 V. The PCA9635 operates with a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V and the outputs are 5.5 V tolerant. LEDs can be directly connected to the LED output (up to 25 mA, 5.5 V) or controlled with external drivers and a minimum amount of discrete components for larger current or higher voltage LEDs. The PCA9635 is one of the first LED controller devices in a new Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) family. Fm+ devices offer higher frequency (up to 1 MHz) and more densely populated bus operation (up to 4000 pF). The active LOW Output Enable input pin (OE) allows asynchronous control of the LED outputs and can be used to set all the outputs to a defined I2C-bus programmable logic state. The OE can also be used to externally PWM the outputs, which is useful when multiple devices need to be dimmed or blinked together using software control. Software programmable LED Group and three Sub Call I2C-bus addresses allow all or defined groups of PCA9635 devices to respond to a common I2C-bus address, allowing for example, all red LEDs to be turned on or off at the same time or marquee chasing effect, thus minimizing I2C-bus commands. Seven hardware address pins allow up to 126 devices on the same bus. The Software Reset (SWRST) Call allows the master to perform a reset of the PCA9635 through the I2C-bus, identical to the Power-On Reset (POR) that initializes the registers to their default state causing the outputs to be set HIGH (LED off). This allows an easy and quick way to reconfigure all device registers to the same condition. PCA9635 NXP Semiconductors 16-bit Fm+ I2C-bus LED driver 2. Features n 16 LED drivers.

Functional description Refer to Figure 1 “Block diagram of PCA9635”. 7.1 Device addresses Following a START condition, the bus master must output the address of the slave it is accessing. There are a maximum of 128 possible programmable addresses using the 7 hardware address pins. Two of these addresses, Software Reset and LED All Call, cannot be used because their default power-up state is ON, leaving a maximum of 126 addresses. Using other reserved addresses, as well as any other Sub Call address, will reduce the total number of possible addresses even further. 7.1.1 Regular I2C-bus slave address The I2C-bus slave address of the PCA9635 is shown in Figure 3. To conserve power, no internal pull-up resistors are incorporated on the hardware selectable address pins and they must be pulled HIGH or LOW. Remark: Using reserved I2C-bus addresses will interfere with other devices, but only if the devices are on the bus and/or the bus will be open to other I2C-bus systems at some later date. In a closed system where the designer controls the address assignment these addresses can be used since the PCA9635 treats them like any other address. The LED All Call, Software Rest and PCA9564 or PCA9665 slave address (if on the bus) can never be used for individual device addresses. • PCA9635 LED All Call address (1110 000) and Software Reset (0000 0110) which are active on start-up • PCA9564 (0000 000) or PCA9665 (1110 000) slave address which is active on start-up • • • • ‘reserved for future use’ I2C-bus addresses (0000 011, 1111 1XX) slave devices that use the 10-bit addressing scheme (1111 0XX) slave devices that are designed to respond to the General Call address (0000 000) High-speed mode (Hs-mode) master code (0000 1XX) PCA9635_6 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008.

A0 R/W 002aab319 Slave address The last bit of the address byte defines the operation to be performed. When set to logic 1 a read is selected, while a logic 0 selects a write operation. 7.1.2 LED all call I2C-bus address • Default power-up value (ALLCALLADR register): E0h or 1110 000X • Programmable through I2C-bus (volatile programming) • At power-up, LED All Call I2C-bus address is enabled. PCA9635 sends an ACK when E0h (R/W = 0) or E1h (R/W = 1) is sent by the master. See Section 7.3.8 “ALLCALLADR, LED All Call I2C-bus address” for more detail. Remark: The default LED All Call I2C-bus address (E0h or 1110 000X) must not be used as a regular I2C-bus slave address since this address is enabled at power-up. All the PCA9635s on the I2C-bus will acknowledge the address if sent by the I2C-bus master. 7.1.3 LED sub call I2C-bus addresses • 3 different I2C-bus addresses can be used • Default power-up values: – SUBADR1 register: E2h or 1110 001X – SUBADR2 register: E4h or 1110 010X – SUBADR3 register: E8h or 1110 100X • Programmable through I2C-bus (volatile programming) • At power-up, Sub Call I2C-bus addresses are disabled. PCA9635 does not send an ACK when E2h (R/W = 0) or E3h (R/W = 1), E4h (R/W = 0) or E5h (R/W = 1), or E8h (R/W = 0) or E9h (R/W = 1) is sent by the master. See Section 7.3.7 “SUBADR1 to SUBADR3, I2C-bus subaddress 1 to 3” for more detail. Remark: The default LED Sub Call I2C-bus addresses may be used as regular I2C-bus slave addresses as long as they are disabled. PCA9635_6 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008. All rights reserved. Rev. 06 — 11 September 2008 6 of 35 PCA9635 NXP Semiconductors 16-bit Fm+ I2C-bus LED driver 7.1.4 Software reset I2C-bus address The address shown in Figure 4 is used when a reset of the PCA9635 needs to be performed by the master. The Software Reset address (SWRST Call) must be used with R/W = logic 0. If R/W = logic 1, the PCA9635 does not acknowledge the SWRST. See Section 7.6 “Software reset” for more detail. R/W 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 002aab416 Fig 4. Software Reset address Remark: The Software Reset I2C-bus address is a reserved address and cannot be used as a regular I2C-bus slave address or as an LED All Call or LED Sub Call address. 7.2 Control register Following the successful acknowledgement of the slave address, LED All Call address or LED Sub Call address, the bus master will send a byte to the PCA9635, which will be stored in the Control register. The lowest 5 bits are used as a pointer to determine which register will be accessed (D[4:0]). The highest 3 bits are used as Auto-Increment flag and Auto-Increment options (AI[2:0]). register address AI2 AI1 AI0 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 002aac147 Auto-Increment options Auto-Increment flag reset state = 80h Remark: The Control register does not apply to the Software Reset I2C-bus address. Fig 5. Control register When the Auto-Increment flag is set (AI2 = logic 1), the five low order bits of the Control register are automatically incremented after a read or write. This allows the user to program the registers sequentially. Four different types of Auto-Increment are possible, depending on AI1 and AI0 values. PCA9635_6 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008.

Auto-Increment options AI2 AI1 AI0 Function 0 0 0 no Auto-Increment 1 0 0 Auto-Increment for all registers. D[4:0] roll over to ‘0 0000’ after the last register (1 1011) is accessed. 1 0 1 Auto-Increment for individual brightness registers only. D[4:0] roll over to ‘0 0010’ after the last register (1 0001) is accessed. 1 1 0 Auto-Increment for global control registers only. D[4:0] roll over to ‘1 0010’ after the last register (1 0011) is accessed. 1 1 1 Auto-Increment for individual and global control registers only. D[4:0] roll over to ‘0 0010’ after the last register (1 0011) is accessed. Remark: Other combinations not shown in Table 3 (AI[2:0] = 001, 010, and 011) are reserved and must not be used for proper device operation. AI[2:0] = 000 is used when the same register must be accessed several times during a single I2C-bus communication, for example, changes the brightness of a single LED. Data is overwritten each time the register is accessed during a write operation. AI[2:0] = 100 is used when all the registers must be sequentially accessed, for example, power-up programming. AI[2:0] = 101 is used when the four LED drivers must be individually programmed with different values during the same I2C-bus communication, for example, changing color setting to another color setting. AI[2:0] = 110 is used when the LED drivers must be globally programmed with different settings during the same I2C-bus communication, for example, global brightness or blinking change. AI[2:0] = 111 is used when individual and global changes must be performed during the same I2C-bus communication, for example, changing a color and global brightness at the same time. Only the 5 least significant bits D[4:0] are affected by the AI[2:0] bits. When the Control register is written, the register entry point determined by D[4:0] is the first register that will be addressed (read or write operation), and can be anywhere between 0 0000 and 1 1011 (as defined in Table 4). When AI[2] = 1, the Auto-Increment flag is set and the rollover value at which the register increment stops and goes to the next one is determined by AI[2:0]. See Table 3 for rollover values. For example, if the Control register = 1111 0100 (F4h), then the register addressing sequence will be (in hex): 14 → … → 1B → 00 → … → 13 → 02 → … → 13 → 02 → … → 13 → 02 → … as long as the master keeps sending or reading data.

Applicable to LED outputs programmed with LDRx = 11 (LEDOUT0 to LEDOUT3 registers). When DMBLNK bit is programmed with logic 1, GRPPWM and GRPFREQ registers define a global blinking pattern, where GRPFREQ contains the blinking period (from 24 Hz to 10.73 s) and GRPPWM the duty cycle (ON/OFF ratio in %).

Table 13. OUTNE1 LED outputs when OE = 1 OUTNE0 LED outputs 0 0 0 0 1 1 if OUTDRV = 1, high-impedance if OUTDRV = 0 1 0 high-impedance 1 1 reserved The OE pin can be used as a synchronization signal to switch on/off several PCA9635 devices at the same time. This requires an external clock reference that provides blinking period and the duty cycle. The OE pin can also be used as an external dimming control signal. The frequency of the external clock must be high enough not to be seen by the human eye, and the duty cycle value determines the brightness of the LEDs. Remark: Do not use OE as an external blinking control signal when internal global blinking is selected (DMBLNK = 1, MODE2 register) since it will result in an undefined blinking pattern. Do not use OE as an external dimming control signal when internal global dimming is selected (DMBLNK = 0, MODE2 register) since it will result in an undefined dimming pattern. 7.5 Power-on reset When power is applied to VDD, an internal power-on reset holds the PCA9635 in a reset condition until VDD has reached VPOR. At this point, the reset condition is released and the PCA9635 registers and I2C-bus state machine are initialized to their default states (all zeroes) causing all the channels to be deselected. Thereafter, VDD must be lowered below 0.2 V to reset the device. PCA9635_6 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008. All rights reserved. Rev. 06 — 11 September 2008 15 of 35 PCA9635 NXP Semiconductors 16-bit Fm+ I2C-bus LED driver 7.6 Software reset The Software Reset Call (SWRST Call) allows all the devices in the I2C-bus to be reset to the power-up state value through a specific formatted I2C-bus command. To be performed correctly, it implies that the I2C-bus is functional and that there is no device hanging the bus. The SWRST Call function is defined as the following: 1. A START command is sent by the I2C-bus master. 2. The reserved SWRST I2C-bus address ‘0000 011’ with the R/W bit set to ‘0’ (write) is sent by the I2C-bus master. 3. The PCA9635 device(s) acknowledge(s) after seeing the SWRST Call address ‘0000 0110’ (06h) only. If the R/W bit is set to ‘1’ (read), no acknowledge is returned to the I2C-bus master. 4. Once the SWRST Call address has been sent and acknowledged, the master sends 2 bytes with 2 specific values (SWRST data byte 1 and byte 2): a. Byte 1 = A5h: the PCA9635 acknowledges this value only. If byte 1 is not equal to A5h, the PCA9635 does not acknowledge it. b. Byte 2 = 5Ah: the PCA9635 acknowledges this value only. If byte 2 is not equal to 5Ah, then the PCA9635 does not acknowledge it. If more than 2 bytes of data are sent, the PCA9635 does not acknowledge any more. 5. Once the right 2 bytes (SWRST data byte 1 and byte 2 only) have been sent and correctly acknowledged, the master sends a STOP command to end the SWRST Call: the PCA9635 then resets to the default value (power-up value) and is ready to be addressed again within the specified bus free time (tBUF). The I2C-bus master must interpret a non-acknowledge from the PCA9635 (at any time) as a ‘SWRST Call Abort’. The PCA9635 does not initiate a reset of its registers. This happens only when the format of the SWRST Call sequence is not correct. 7.7 Using the PCA9635 with and without external drivers The PCA9635 LED output drivers are 5.5 V only tolerant and can sink up to 25 mA at 5 V. If the device needs to drive LEDs to a higher voltage and/or higher current, use of an external driver is required. • INVRT bit (MODE2 register) can be used to keep the LED PWM control firmware the same (PWMx and GRPPWM values directly calculated from their respective formulas and the LED output state determined by LEDOUT register value) independently of the type of external driver. This bit allows LED output polarity inversion/non-inversion only when OE = 0. • OUTDRV bit (MODE2 register) allows minimizing the amount of external components required to control the external driver (N-type or P-type device).

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. 8.1 Bit transfer 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 7). SDA SCL data line stable; data valid Fig 7. change of data allowed mba607 Bit transfer 8.1.1 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 8). SDA SDA SCL SCL S P START condition STOP condition mba608 Fig 8. Definition of START and STOP conditions 8.2 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 9). PCA9635_6 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008.

System configuration 8.3 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 LOW during 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. data output by transmitter not acknowledge data output by receiver acknowledge SCL from master 1 S START condition 2 8 9 clock pulse for acknowledgement 002aaa987 Fig 10.

Rev. 06 — 11 September 2008 23 of 35 PCA9635 NXP Semiconductors 16-bit Fm+ I2C-bus LED driver Question 1: What kind of edge rate control is there on the outputs? • The typical edge rates depend on the output configuration, supply voltage, and the applied load. The outputs can be configured as either open-drain NMOS or totem-pole outputs. If the customer is using the part to directly drive LEDs, they should be using it in an open-drain NMOS, if they are concerned about the maximum ISS and ground bounce. The edge rate control was designed primarily to slow down the turn-on of the output device; it turns off rather quickly (~1.5 ns). In simulation, the typical turn-on time for the open-drain NMOS was ~14 ns (VDD = 3.6 V; CL = 50 pF; RPU = 500 Ω). Question 2: Is ground bounce possible? • Ground bounce is a possibility, especially if all 16 outputs are changed at full current (25 mA each). There is a fair amount of decoupling capacitance on chip (~50 pF), which is intended to suppress some of the ground bounce. The customer will need to determine if additional decoupling capacitance externally placed as close as physically possible to the device is required. Question 3: Can I really sink 400 mA through the single ground pin on the package and will this cause any ground bounce problem due to the PWM of the LEDs? • Yes, you can sink 400 mA through a single ground pin on the package. Although the package only has one ground pin, there are two ground pads on the die itself connected to this one pin. Although some ground bounce is likely, it will not disrupt the operation of the part and would be reduced by the external decoupling capacitance. Question 4: I can’t turn the LEDs on or off, but their registers are set properly. Why? • Check the Mode Register 1 bit 4 SLEEP setting. The value needs to be 0 so that the OSC is turn on. If the OSC is turned off, the LEDs cannot be turned on or off and also can’t be dimmed or blinked. Question 5: I’m using LEDs with integrated zener diodes and the IC is getting very hot. Why? • The IC outputs can be set to either open-drain or push-pull and default to push-pull outputs. In this application with the zener diodes, they need to be set to open-drain since in the push-pull architecture there is a low resistance path to GND through the zener and this is causing the IC to overheat. The PCA9632/33/34/35 ICs all power-up in the push-pull output mode and with the logic state HIGH, so one of the first things that need to be done is to set the outputs to open-drain.

Handling information Inputs and outputs are protected against electrostatic discharge in normal handling. However, to be completely safe you must take normal precautions appropriate to handling integrated circuits. 17. 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: PCA9635_6 Product data sheet © NXP B.V. 2008.

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) Volume (mm3) < 350 ≥ 350 < 2.5 235 220 ≥ 2.5 220 220 Table 20.
