PCA9530
2-bit I2C-bus LED dimmer
Rev. 03 — 26 February 2009 Product data sheet 1. General description
The PCA9530 is a 2-bit I2C-bus and SMBus I/O expander optimized for dimming LEDs in
256 discrete steps for Red/Green/Blue (RGB) color mixing and backlight applications.
The PCA9530 contains an internal oscillator with two user programmable blink rates and
duty cycles coupled to the output PWM. The LED brightness is controlled by setting the
blink rate high enough (> 100 Hz) that the blinking cannot be seen and then using the
duty cycle to vary the amount of time the LED is on and thus the average current through
the LED.
The initial setup sequence programs the two blink rates/duty cycles for each individual
PWM. From then on, only one command from the bus master is required to turn individual
LEDs ON, OFF, BLINK RATE 1 or BLINK RATE 2. Based on the programmed frequency
and duty cycle, BLINK RATE 1 and BLINK RATE 2 will cause the LEDs to appear at a
different brightness or blink at periods up to 1.69 second. The open-drain outputs directly
drive the LEDs with maximum output sink current of 25 mA per bit and 50 mA per
package.
To blink LEDs at periods greater than 1.69 second, the bus master (MCU, MPU, DSP,
chip set, etc.) must send repeated commands to turn the LED on and off as is currently
done when using normal I/O Expanders like the NXP Semiconductors PCF8574 or
PCA9554. Any bits not used for controlling the LEDs can be used for General Purpose
parallel Input/Output (GPIO) expansion which provides a simple solution when additional
I/O is needed for ACPI power switches, sensors, push buttons, alarm monitoring, fans, …
