PCA9538
8-bit I2C-bus and SMBus low power I/O port with interrupt and
reset
Rev. 7 — 26 November 2014
Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA9538 is a 16-pin CMOS device that provides 8 bits of General Purpose parallel
Input/Output (GPIO) expansion with interrupt and reset for I2C-bus/SMBus applications
and was developed to enhance the NXP Semiconductors family of I2C-bus I/O expanders.
I/O expanders provide a simple solution when additional I/O is needed for ACPI power
switches, sensors, push-buttons, LEDs, fans, etc.
The PCA9538 consists of an 8-bit Configuration register (input or output selection),
8-bit Input Port register, 8-bit Output Port register and an 8-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 Input
Port register can be inverted with the Polarity Inversion register. All registers can be read
by the system master.
The PCA9538 is identical to the PCA9554 except for the removal of the internal I/O
pull-up resistor which greatly reduces power consumption when the I/Os are held LOW,
replacement of A2 with RESET and different address range.
The PCA9538 open-drain interrupt output (INT) 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. The RESET pin causes the same
reset/initialization to occur without de-powering the device.
Two hardware pins (A0 and A1) vary the fixed I2C-bus address and allow up to four
devices to share the same I2C-bus/SMBus.

Pin description
HVQFN16 package die supply ground is connected to both the VSS pin and the exposed center pad. The
VSS pin must be connected to supply ground for proper device operation. For enhanced thermal, electrical,
and board-level performance, the exposed pad needs to be soldered to the board using a corresponding
thermal pad on the board, and for proper heat conduction through the board thermal vias need to be
incorporated in the printed-circuit board in the thermal pad region.

6.3 Power-on reset
When power is applied to VDD, an internal Power-On Reset (POR) holds the PCA9538 in
a reset condition until VDD has reached VPOR. At that point, the reset condition is released
and the PCA9538 registers and state machine will initialize to their default states.
Thereafter, VDD must be lowered below 0.2 V to reset the device.
For a power reset cycle, VDD must be lowered below 0.2 V and then restored to the
operating voltage.
6.4 RESET input
A reset can be accomplished by holding the RESET pin LOW for a minimum of tw(rst).
The PCA9538 registers and SMBus/I2C-bus state machine will be held in their default
state until the RESET input is once again HIGH. This input requires a pull-up resistor to
VDD if no active connection is used.
6.5 Interrupt output
The open-drain interrupt output (INT) is activated when one of the port pins changes state
and the pin is configured as an input. The interrupt is de-activated when the input returns
to its previous state or the Input Port register is read.
Note that 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.

6.6 I/O port
When an I/O is configured as an input, FETs Q1 and Q2 are off, creating a
high-impedance input. 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 enabled, 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 paths that exist between
the pin and either VDD or VSS.

Data is transmitted to the PCA9538 registers using the write mode as shown in Figure 7
and Figure 8. Data is read from the PCA9538 registers using the read mode as shown in
Figure 9 and Figure 10. These devices do not implement an auto-increment function so
once a command byte has been sent, the register which was addressed will continue to
be accessed by reads until a new command byte has been sent.

7.1 Minimizing IDD when the I/Os are 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 11. Since the LED acts as a diode, when the LED is off the
I/O VI is about 1.2 V less than VDD. The supply current, IDD, increases as VI becomes
lower than VDD.
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 12 shows a high value resistor in parallel with the LED. Figure 13 shows VDD 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 and prevents additional supply current consumption when the LED is off.

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.
14.2 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

• 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
14.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 24) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
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 14 and 15
