PCA9531PW,118 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The PCA9531PW,118 from NXP Semiconductors is an 8-bit I2C-bus and SMBus I/O expander optimized for dimming LEDs. It provides 256 discrete brightness steps, making it ideal for Red/Green/Blue (RGB) color mixing and backlight applications.

 

Key features include two user-programmable blink rates and duty cycles, an internal oscillator requiring no external components, and noise filtering on SCL/SDA inputs. The device supports a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V and offers an output sink current of 25 mA per bit, with a total of 100 mA per package. Outputs are open-drain and directly drive LEDs.

 

Any I/O bits not used for LED driving can function as General Purpose Parallel Input/Output (GPIO) expansion. The PCA9531PW,118 is available in a 16-TSSOP package and is designed for surface mounting. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
