PCA9624
8-bit Fm+ I2C-bus 100 mA 40 V LED driver
Rev. 02 — 26 August 2009
Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCA9624 is an I2C-bus controlled 8-bit LED driver optimized for voltage switch
dimming and blinking 100 mA Red/Green/Blue/Amber (RGBA) LEDs. 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 PCA9624 operates with
a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V and the 100 mA open-drain outputs allow
voltages up to 40 V.
The PCA9624 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) blinks all the LED outputs and can be used
to externally PWM the outputs, which is useful when multiple devices need to be dimmed
or blinked together without using software control.
Software programmable LED Group and three Sub Call I2C-bus addresses allow all or
defined groups of PCA9624 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 PCA9624
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.
The PCA9624 and PCA9634 software is identical and if the PCA9624 on-chip 100 mA
NAND FETs do not provide enough current or voltage to drive the LEDs, then the
PCA9634 with larger current or higher voltage external drivers can be used.

HVQFN24 package supply ground is connected to both VSS pins and exposed center pad. VSS pins 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
PCB in the thermal pad region.
7. Functional description
Refer to Figure 1 “Block diagram of PCA9624”.
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 PCA9624 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.
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 PCA9624 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.
• PCA9624 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

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 000
• Programmable through I2C-bus (volatile programming)
• At power-up, LED All Call I2C-bus address is enabled. PCA9624 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 000) must not be used
as a regular I2C-bus slave address since this address is enabled at power-up. All the
PCA9624s 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 001
– SUBADR2 register: E4h or 1110 010
– SUBADR3 register: E8h or 1110 100
• Programmable through I2C-bus (volatile programming)
• At power-up, Sub Call I2C-bus addresses are disabled. PCA9624 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.
7.1.4 Software Reset I2C-bus address
The address shown in Figure 5 is used when a reset of the PCA9624 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 PCA9624 does not acknowledge the SWRST. See
Section 7.6 “Software reset” for more detail.

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 PCA9624, 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]).

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.

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 16 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 0001 (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 = 1110 0100 (E4h), then the register addressing sequence will be (in hex):
04 → … → 0B → 02 → … → 0B → 02 → … → 0B → 02 → … → 0B → 02 → … as long
as the master keeps sending or reading data.

A 97 kHz fixed frequency signal is used for each output. Duty cycle is controlled through
256 linear steps from 00h (0 % duty cycle = LED output off) to FFh
(99.6 % duty cycle = LED output at maximum brightness). Applicable to LED outputs
programmed with LDRx = 10 or 11 (LEDOUT0 to LEDOUT3 registers).

When DMBLNK bit (MODE2 register) is programmed with logic 0, a 190 Hz fixed
frequency signal is superimposed with the 97 kHz individual brightness control signal.
GRPPWM is then used as a global brightness control allowing the LED outputs to be
dimmed with the same value. The value in GRPFREQ is then a ‘Don’t care’.
General brightness for the 16 outputs is controlled through 256 linear steps from 00h
(0 % duty cycle = LED output off) to FFh (99.6 % duty cycle = maximum brightness).
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 %).

Subaddresses are programmable through the I2C-bus. Default power-up values are E2h,
E4h, E8h, and the device(s) will not acknowledge these addresses right after power-up
(the corresponding SUBx bit in MODE1 register is equal to 0).
Once subaddresses have been programmed to their right values, SUBx bits need to be
set to logic 1 in order to have the device acknowledging these addresses (MODE1
register).
Only the 7 MSBs representing the I2C-bus subaddress are valid. The LSB in SUBADRx
register is a read-only bit (0).
When SUBx is set to logic 1, the corresponding I2C-bus subaddress can be used during
either an I2C-bus read or write sequence.

7.4 Active LOW output enable input
The active LOW output enable (OE) pin, allows to enable or disable all the LED outputs at
the same time.
• When a LOW level is applied to OE pin, all the LED outputs are enabled.
• When a HIGH level is applied to OE pin, all the LED outputs are high-impedance.
The OE pin can be used as a synchronization signal to switch on/off several PCA9624
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.
Remark: During power-down, slow decay of voltage supplies may keep LEDs illuminated.
Consider disabling LED outputs using HIGH level applied to OE pin.
7.5 Power-on reset
When power is applied to VDD, an internal power-on reset holds the PCA9624 in a reset
condition until VDD has reached VPOR. At this point, the reset condition is released and the
PCA9624 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.
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 PCA9624 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 PCA9624 acknowledges this value only. If byte 1 is not equal to
A5h, the PCA9624 does not acknowledge it.

PCA9624
NXP Semiconductors
8-bit Fm+ I2C-bus 100 mA 40 V LED driver
b. Byte 2 = 5Ah: the PCA9624 acknowledges this value only. If byte 2 is not equal to
5Ah, then the PCA9624 does not acknowledge it.
If more than 2 bytes of data are sent, the PCA9624 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 PCA9624 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 PCA9624 (at any time) as
a ‘SWRST Call Abort’. The PCA9624 does not initiate a reset of its registers. This
happens only when the format of the SWRST Call sequence is not correct.
7.7 Individual brightness control with group dimming/blinking
A 97 kHz fixed frequency signal with programmable duty cycle (8 bits, 256 steps) is used
to control individually the brightness for each LED.
On top of this signal, one of the following signals can be superimposed (this signal can be
applied to the 4 LED outputs):
• A lower 190 Hz fixed frequency signal with programmable duty cycle (8 bits,
256 steps) is used to provide a global brightness control.
• A programmable frequency signal from 24 Hz to 1⁄10.73 Hz (8 bits, 256 steps) with
programmable duty cycle (8 bits, 256 steps) is used to provide a global blinking
control.

8. 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 8).

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 9).

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 10).

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.

10.1 Junction temperature calculation
A device junction temperature can be calculated when the ambient temperature or the
case temperature is known.
When the ambient temperature is known, the junction temperature is calculated using
Equation 4 and the ambient temperature, junction to ambient thermal resistance and
power dissipation.
T j = T amb + R th ( j-a ) × P tot
(4)
where:
Tj = junction temperature
Tamb = ambient temperature
Rth(j-a) = junction to ambient thermal resistance
Ptot = (device) total power dissipation
When the case temperature is known, the junction temperature is calculated using
Equation 5 and the case temperature, junction to case thermal resistance and power
dissipation.
T j = T case + R th ( j-c ) × P tot
(5)
where:
Tj = junction temperature
Tcase = case temperature
Rth(j-c) = junction to case thermal resistance
Ptot = (device) total power dissipation
Here are two examples regarding how to calculate the junction temperature using junction
to case and junction to ambient thermal resistance. In the first example (Section 10.1.1),
given the operating condition and the junction to ambient thermal resistance, the junction
temperature of PCA9624PW, in the TSSOP24 package, is calculated for a system
operating condition in 50 °C1 ambient temperature. In the second example
(Section 10.1.2), based on a specific customer application requirement where only the
case temperature is known, applying the junction to case thermal resistance equation, the
junction temperature of the PCA9626B, in the LQFP48 package, is calculated.
1.
50 °C is a typical temperature inside an enclosed system. The designers should feel free, as needed, to perform their own
calculation using the examples.

8-bit Fm+ I2C-bus 100 mA 40 V LED driver
10.1.1 Example 1: Tj calculation of PCA9624DR, in TSSOP24 package, when Tamb
is known
Rth(j-a) = 108 °C/W
Tamb = 50 °C
LED output low voltage (LED VOL) = 0.5 V
LED output current per channel = 80 mA
Number of outputs = 8
IDD(max) = 10 mA
VDD(max) = 5.5 V
I2C-bus clock (SCL) maximum sink current = 25 mA
I2C-bus data (SDA) maximum sink current = 25 mA
1. Find Ptot (device total power dissipation):
– output total power = 80 mA × 8 × 0.5 V = 320 mW
– chip core power consumption = 10 mA × 5.5 V = 55 mW
– SCL power dissipation = 25 mA 0.4 V = 10 mW
– SDA power dissipation = 25 mA 0.4 V = 10 mW
Ptot = (320 + 55 + 10 + 10) mW = 395 mW
2. Find Tj (junction temperature):
Tj = (Tamb + Rth(j-a) × Ptot) = (50 °C + 108 °C/W × 395 mW) = 92.7 °C
10.1.2 Example 2: Tj calculation where only Tcase is known
This example uses a customer’s specific application of the PCA9626B, 24-channel LED
controller in the LQFP48 package, where only the case temperature (Tcase) is known.
Tj = Tcase + Rth(j-c) × Ptot, where:
Rth(j-c) = 18 °C/W
Tcase (measured) = 94.6 °C
VOL of LED ~ 0.5 V
IDD(max) = 18 mA
VDD(max) = 5.5 V
LED output voltage LOW = 0.5 V
LED output current:
60 mA on 1 port = (60 mA × 1)
50 mA on 6 ports = (50 mA × 6)
40 mA on 2 ports = (40 mA × 2)
20 mA on 12 ports = (20 mA × 12)
1 mA on 3 ports = (1 mA × 3)
I2C-bus
maximum sink current on clock line = 25 mA
I2C-bus
maximum sink current on data line = 25 mA

1. Find Ptot (device total power dissipation)
– output current (60 mA × 1 port); output power (60 mA × 1 × 0.5 V) = 30 mW
– output current (50 mA × 6 ports); output power (50 mA × 6 × 0.5 V) = 150 mW
– output current (40 mA × 2 ports); output power (40 mA × 2 × 0.5 V) = 40 mW
– output current (20 mA × 12 ports); output power (20 mA × 12 × 0.5 V) = 120 mW
– output current (1 mA × 3 ports); output power (1 mA × 3 × 0.5 V) = 1.5 mW
Output total power = 341.5 mW
– chip core power consumption = 18 mA × 5.5 V = 99 mW
– SCL power dissipation = 25 mA × 0.4 V = 10 mW
– SDA power dissipation = 25 mA × 0.4 V = 10 mW
Ptot (device total power dissipation) = 460.5 mW
2. Find Tj (junction temperature):
Tj = Tcase + Rth(j-a) × Ptot = 94.6 °C + 18 °C/W × 460.5 mW = 102.9 °C

Each bit must be limited to a maximum of 100 mA and the total package limited to 800 mA due to internal
busing limits. The pull-up (current limiting) resistor must be of sufficient size (W) and value (Ω) to guarantee
that the 100 mA limit is not exceeded on any output.

tVD;DAT = minimum time for SDA data out to be valid following SCL LOW.
[3]
A master device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (refer to the VIL of the SCL signal) in order to
bridge the undefined region of SCL’s falling edge.
[4]
The maximum tf for the SDA and SCL bus lines is specified at 300 ns. The maximum fall time (tf) for the SDA output stage is specified at
250 ns. This allows series protection resistors to be connected between the SDA and the SCL pins and the SDA/SCL bus lines without
exceeding the maximum specified tf.
[5]
Cb = total capacitance of one bus line in pF.

17. 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.
18. 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”.
18.1 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.
18.2 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
18.4 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 18 and 19

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 24.
