DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
This 7-bit LED dimmer for the two-line bidirectional bus (I2C) is designed to control (or dim) LEDs via the I2C
interface [serial clock (SCL), serial data (SDA)]. Without this device, the microprocessor or microcontroller must
be actively involved in turning on and off the LEDs (per the required dimming rate), which uses valuable
processor time and the overloads I2C bus. The TCA6507 alleviates this issue by limiting the number of
operations required by the processor in blinking LEDs and, thus, helps to create a more efficient system.

This device can be used for driving LEDs and for general-purpose parallel output expansion. The TCA6507 has
three Select registers (Select0, Select1 and Select2), which can be used to configure each LED output into one
of seven different operating modes. At power on, the outputs are in high impedance.
When used to drive LEDs, the seven outputs can be configured into two banks of outputs (BANK0 and BANK1).
Each bank of outputs can be independently controlled for dimming rate and intensity through the I2C bus. The
dimming and blink rates are fully programmable. The intensity of each bank of LEDs is controlled by dynamically
varying the duty cycle of the signal, which has a period of approximately 8 ms and a pulse rate of 125 times per
second, driving the outputs. The TCA6507 has two independent dimming/blinking modules—PWM0 and
PWM1—driven by a single internal oscillator that supports these features. PWM0 determines the characteristics
of BANK0 and PWM1 determines the characteristics of BANK1.
The TCA6507 has a master intensity level known as the ambient light detection (ALD) value. The associated
pulse width modulation (PWM) signal for this value is PWMALD. The TCA6507 can be programmed such that
PWMALD overrides PWM0 or PWM1 so selected LEDs are on steadily at the master intensity level. Further, the
TCA6507 can be programmed such that the ALD value can override the maximum intensity values for PWM0
and PWM1. Thus, the ALD value can control the brightness of all LEDs whether they are on steadily or controlled
by one of the dimming modules. The ALD value is stored in the lower four bits of the One-Shot / Master Intensity
register.
When the I2C bus is idle, and intensity control is not used, the TCA6507 can be put into shutdown mode by
setting the enable (EN) pin low. This mode provides additional power savings, as it is a low-power mode where
the LEDs are off. A low signal on the EN pin also resets the registers and I2C/SMBus state machine in the
TCA6507 to their default state.
An initial setup command must be sent from the I2C master to the TCA6507 to program the dimming rate and
intensity (and intensity ramp if needed) for each bank of outputs. From then on, only one command from the bus
master is required to turn each individual output ON, OFF, or to cycle at the programmed dimming rate. The
default value for all time parameters is 256 ms so the default blink rate is approximately one per second.
The TCA6507 is optimized for 1.65 V to 3.6 V on the SDA/SCL side, but the LEDs can be driven by any voltage
up to 5.5 V. This allows the TCA6507 to interface with next-generation microprocessors and microcontrollers,
where supply levels are dropping down to conserve power.
This LED dimmer supports hot insertion.

I2C Interface
The bidirectional I2C bus consists of the serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA) lines. Both lines must be
connected to a positive supply through a pullup resistor when connected to the output stages of a device. Data
transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
I2C communication with this device is initiated by a master sending a Start condition, a high-to-low transition on
the SDA input/output while the SCL input is high (see Figure 2). After the Start condition, the device address byte
is sent, most significant bit (MSB) first, including the data direction bit (R/W).
After receiving the valid address byte, this device responds with an acknowledge (ACK)–a low on the SDA
input/output during the high of the ACK-related clock pulse.
On the I2C bus, only one data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the high pulse of the clock period, as changes in the data line at this time are interpreted as control
commands (Start or Stop) (see Figure 3).
A Stop condition, a low-to-high transition on the SDA input/output while the SCL input is high, is sent by the
master (see Figure 2).
Any number of data bytes can be transferred from the transmitter to receiver between the Start and the Stop
conditions. Each byte of eight bits is followed by one ACK bit. The transmitter must release the SDA line before
the receiver can send an ACK bit. The device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA line during the ACK
clock pulse so that the SDA line is stable low during the high pulse of the ACK-related clock period (see
Figure 4). When a slave receiver is addressed, it must generate an ACK after each byte is received. Similarly,
the master must generate an ACK after each byte that it receives from the slave transmitter. Setup and hold
times must be met to ensure proper operation.
A master receiver signals an end of data to the slave transmitter by not generating an acknowledge (NACK) after
the last byte has been clocked out of the slave. This is done by the master receiver by holding the SDA line high.
In this event, the transmitter must release the data line to enable the master to generate a Stop condition.

Control Register and Command Byte
Following the successful acknowledgment of the address byte, the bus master sends a command byte, which is
stored in the control register. The last four bits (B0, B1, B2 and B3) of this command byte determine the internal
registers (Select0, Select1, Select2, Fade-On Time, Fully-On Time, Fade-Off Time, First Fully-Off Time, Second
Fully-Off Time, Maximum Intensity and Initialization) that are affected. The command byte is sent only during a
write transmission.

SCPS164B – MAY 2007 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2007
After the command byte is received, the I2C master starts sending data bytes. The first data byte goes into the
internal register defined by the command byte. Bit B4 in the command byte is used to determine the
programming mode. If B4 is low, all data bytes are written to the register defined by B0, B1, B2, and B3. If B4 is
high, the last four bits of the command byte are automatically incremented after the byte is written, and the next
data byte is stored in the corresponding register. Registers are written in the sequence shown in Table 3. Once
the Initialization register (register 10) is written to, the command byte returns to 0 (Select0 register). Registers 11
to 15 are reserved, and a command byte that references these registers is not acknowledged by the TCA6507.
The upper three bits (B7–B5) of the command byte must be programmed as zeroes for proper operation.
If a Stop condition occurs after the command byte is received, the TCA6507 stores the command byte and then
remains idle until the I2C master sends the next operation.

To use a P port as a general-purpose output, Select1 and Select0 registers must be set low (or 0), then the
inverse of the data written to the Select2 bit appears on the open-drain output.
The intensity of each bank of LEDs can be customized by programming six registers: Fade-On Time, Fully-On
Time, Fade-Off Time, First Fully-Off Time, Second Fully-Off Time, and Maximum Intensity registers. Each bank is
designed to produce two identical intensity pulses per blink cycle. Both pulses have the same fade-on, fully-on
and fade-off times, but independent fully-off times to achieve a double-blink effect when desired.
The Fade-On Time register (register 3) defines the time from the fully-off state to the fully-on state for the LED
per region A in Figure 7. The first four bits (C7–C4) in this register set the fade-on time for BANK1, and the next
four bits (C3–C0) set the fade-on time for BANK0. The data for each bank is a binary number between 0 and 15.
For BANK1, the MSB is bit C7, while the least significant bit (LSB) is bit C4. For BANK0, the MSB is bit C3 while
the LSB is bit C0. See Table 13 for more information.

15. For BANK1, the MSB is bit C7, while the LSB is bit C4. For BANK0, the MSB is bit C3, while the LSB is bit
C0. The values in this register also define the LED intensity indicated by the BRIGHT_F0 or BRIGHT_F1 modes.
The intensity of each LED is updated 125 times per second (every 8 ms with a 32-kHz clock).

The One-Shot / Master Intensity register (register 9) (see Table 16) is an 8-bit register with three functions.
Bits 0–3 set the master intensity value (ALD). It is a binary number between 0 and 15.
Bits 4–5 determine whether the maximum intensity of PWM0 and PWM1 is set by the programmed F value
(BRIGHT_F0 or BRIGHT_F1) or the master ALD value. The default value for these bits is 0. Bit 4 supports
PWM0 and bit 5 is for PWM1. If bit 4 (or bit 5) is 0, the maximum intensity value for PWM0 (or PWM1) is set by
the F value. If bit 4 (or bit 5) is 1, the maximum intensity value for PWM0 (or PWM1) is set by the master ALD
value. This allows the user to vary the brightness of all LEDs by changing a single register.
Bits 6–7 determine whether each PWM operates in normal or one-shot mode. Bit 6 supports PWM0 and bit 7 is
for PWM1. If bit 6 (or bit 7) is 0, PWM0 (or PWM1) operates in the normal mode where the LEDs goes through
the full intensity cycle defined by Table 15 and Figure 7. If bit 6 (or bit 7) is 1, PWM0 (or PWM1) operate in the
one-shot mode. In this mode, the LEDs can be used to create a single-shot lighting effect where the LED
intensity is valid for a particular segment of the cycle shown in Table 15 and Figure 7.

DESCRIPTION
0–3
Master intensity (ALD) value. Valid values are 0 to 15.
4
Determines whether maximum intensity of PWM0 is set by the programmed F value or the master ALD value
0 = F value
1 = ALD value
5
Determines whether maximum intensity of PWM1 is set by the programmed F value or the master ALD value
0 = F value
1 = ALD value
6
Determines if PWM0 operates in normal or one-shot mode
0 = Normal mode
1 = One-shot mode
7
Determines if PWM1 operates in normal or one-shot mode
0 = Normal mode
1 = One-shot mode
The Initialization register (register 10) determines whether to initialize each PWM and, if so, provides the starting
point of the LED intensity cycle for each bank. Bits 0–3 (C0–C3) are for BANK0 and bits 4–7 (C4–C7) are for
BANK1.
Bits 0–2 provide the starting point for PWM0. If bit 3 is high (or 1), it initializes PWM0.
Bits 4–6 provide the starting point for PWM1. If bit 7 is high (or 1), it initialized PWM1.
In the one-shot mode for BANK0, the LEDs start at the beginning of the region defined by C2, C1, and C0 in the
Initialization register and, when it reaches the end of that region, the LED stays at that intensity level defined at
the end of the region. When the stop point is reached, all P ports attached to PWM0 disconnect from PWM0 and
stay at either the maximum intensity level for PWM0 (BRIGHT_F0 or ALD value) or the OFF state. The bits in the
Select2 and Select1 registers change to reflect the final state of the LED at that time. PWM0 continues running
and is free to be used by other LEDs. The one-shot mode works similarly for BANK1.
Upon writing to this register, each bank is initialized to the state listed in Table 18 and Table 19.

Power-On Reset
When power (from 0 V) is applied to VCC, an internal power-on reset holds the TCA6507 in a reset condition until
VCC has reached VPOR. At that point, the reset condition is released, and the TCA6507 registers and I2C/SMBus
state machine initialize to their default states.
After the initial power-up phase, VCCI must be lowered to below 0.2 V and then back up to the operating voltage
(VCCI) for a power-reset cycle.
Enable and Reset
If the enable (EN) input is set to low, the TCA6507 is put in the standby or shutdown mode. In this mode, the
oscillator is turned off, the registers are returned to their default state, and the the I2C/SMBus state machine is
initialized. This mode is useful for low power consumption. An internal filtering circuit prevents negative glitches
from accidentally shutting down the device. EN must be low for a minimum of approximately 60 µs to ensure a
shutdown state.
The system master can reset the TCA6507 in the event of a timeout or other improper operation by setting EN
low for a minimum of approximately 60 µs. This has the same effect as a power-on reset without depowering the
TCA6507.
The oscillator start up time (tOSC) is measured from the point when EN is set high.
Bus Transactions
Data is exchanged between the master and TCA6507 through read and write commands.
Reads
The bus master first must send the TCA6507 address with the LSB set to a logic 0 (see Figure 5 for device
address). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which register is accessed. After a restart,
the device address is sent again but, this time, the LSB is set to a logic 1. Data from the register defined by the
command byte then is sent by the TCA6507 (see Figure 10). Data is clocked into the register on the rising edge
of the ACK clock pulse.

SOFTWARE CONSIDERATIONS FOR USING THE TCA6507
Operation
The TCA6507 includes 11 registers that control the LED function and intensity. In general, the TCA6507 needs to
be operated/written this way to run LEDs (see Figure 11).
1. Master sends a START condition.
2. Master sends the slave address with a write operation (1000 1010).
3. Master sends a command byte that points 1 of the 11 registers in this device.
4. Master sends data to the TCA6507 register(s).
If auto-increment mode is used, the master can write to all 11 registers with 1 command byte being sent initially.
After all registers are written to (if needed), LEDs operate after the TCA6507 acknowledges the master’s
command.
Auto-Increment Mode
In auto-increment mode, the last four bits of the command byte are automatically incremented after the byte is
written and the next data byte is stored in the corresponding register.
Device Address:
0001 0000, 0X02, 0X02, 0X02
Command byte:
B4 = 1 enables auto-increment mode
B3–B0 = 0000 points to Select0 register
Data byte write to Select2 register
Data byte write to Select1 register
Data byte write to Select0 register
The registers are written to in the order shown in Table 3.
LED Operation
For LED states, see Figure 1 and Table 4.
It is the combination of Select2, Select1, and Select0 registers that gives the state of the LED or Px.
Bit 0 from the Select0 register, bit = 0 from Select1 register and bit=0 from the Select2 register provide the state
for P0 or the first LED. Similarly, bit = 1 from the Select0 register, bit 1 from Select1 register and bit = 1 from the
Select2 register provide the state for P1 or the second LED (see Table 20).

A command byte of 0001 0000 writes first to the Select0 register. Data written is 0000 0010. Since
auto-increment is enabled, the next data byte goes into Select1 and Select2 registers, respectively (see
Table 21).

For P1 or the second LED, the combination of 1 for the Select0 register (Bit 1), 1 for the Select1 register bit (bit
1), and 1 for the Select2 register bit (bit 1) puts the LED in a state where it blinks with intensity characteristic of
BANK1 (PWM1) (see Table 4).
Blink Control
The Fade-On time, Fully-On time, Fade-Off time, First Fully-Off time, and Second Fully-Off time registers must
be written to for basic blink control. Each of these registers has eight bits – top four bits for BANK1 (or PWM1)
and bottom four bits for BANK0 (or PWM0) (see Table 17).
Each BANK or PWM has a default value of 4 (0100), which translates to a time of 256 ms. The largest value for
each BANK or PWM is 15 (1111), which translates to a time of 16320 ms (see Figure 7 and Table 15).
Example of Blink Control
Starting with a powerup/reset and all seven LEDs off, here is an example (using auto-increment):
<start>, …, <command with auto-increment>, <data>, <data>, <data>, <data>, <data>, <data>, <data>, <data>, <stop>
Start, 0001 0000, 0X02, 0X02, 0X02, 0011 0000, 0101 0000, 0011 0000, 0110 0000, 1000 0000, Stop
A value of 3 is written into BANK1 in the
Fade-On Time register.
A value of 8 is written into BANK1 in the second
Fully-Off Time register.
0011 in BANK1 = 192 ms in Fade-On time
1000 in BANK1 = 1024 ms in fully-off time (second)
A value of 5 is written into BANK1 in the
Fully-On Time register.
A value of 6 is written into BANK1 in the First
Fully-Off time register.
0101 in BANK1 = 384 ms in fully-on time
0110 in BANK1 = 512 ms in fully-off time (first)
A value of 3 is written into BANK1 in the
Fade-Off Time register.
0011 in BANK1 = 192 ms in fade-off time
This sets the blink cycle as such for PWM1 or BANK1:
384ms
192ms

512ms
192ms
384ms

1024ms

SCPS164B – MAY 2007 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2007
Intensity Control
The Maximum Intensity registers must be written to for setting the intensity of the LED. This register has eight
bits – top four bits for BANK1 (or PWM1) and bottom four bits for BANK0 (or PWM0). This register can be written
to after sending data to the Second Fully-Off Time register (see Table 17).
The Maximum Intensity register has a default value of 15 (1111), which translates to 100% brightness (see
Figure 7 and Table 15).
Examples of Intensity Control
The intensity of the LED can be modified by changing the duty cycle of the output port voltage. The period is 8
ms. In Figure 8, 1111 0000 was written into the Maximum Intensity register to put a 100% intensity level in
PWM1 or BANK1.
The user can vary the duty cycle of the output voltage for intensity changes:
• For 25% brightness, the voltage level at the output/LED should be LOW for 25% of the time (2 ms) and HIGH
for 75% of the time (6 ms).
• For 75% brightness, the voltage level at the output/LED should be LOW for 75% of the time (6 ms) and HIGH
for 25% of the time (2 ms).
In Figure 8, 0111 0000 was written into the Maximum Intensity register to put a 50% intensity level in PWM1 or
BANK1. The period is 8 ms.
The user can vary the duty cycle of the output voltage for intensity changes:
• For 12.5% brightness, the voltage level at the output/LED should be LOW for 12.5% of the time (1 ms) and
HIGH for 87.5% of the time (7 ms).
• For 37.5% brightness, the voltage level at the output/LED should be LOW for 37.5% of the time (3 ms) and
HIGH for 62.5% of the time (5 ms)
