1. General description
The PCA9557 is a silicon CMOS circuit which provides parallel input/output expansion for
SMBus and I2C-bus applications. The PCA9557 consists of an 8-bit input port register,
8-bit output port register, and an I2C-bus/SMBus interface. It has low current consumption
and a high-impedance open-drain output pin, IO0.
The system master can enable the PCA9557’s I/O as either input or output by writing to
the configuration register. The system master can also invert the PCA9557 inputs by
writing to the active HIGH polarity inversion register. Finally, the system master can reset
the PCA9557 in the event of a time-out by asserting a LOW in the reset input.
The power-on reset puts the registers in their default state and initializes the
I2C-bus/SMBus state machine. The RESET pin causes the same reset/initialization to
occur without de-powering the part.

[1] HVQFN16 package die supply ground is connected to both the VSS pin and the exposed center pad. The
VSS pin must be connected to the 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 PCA9557”.
7.1 Device address
Following a START condition the bus master must output the address of the slave it is
accessing. The address of the PCA9557 is shown in Figure 8. To conserve power, no
internal pull-up resistors are incorporated on the hardware selectable address pins and
they must be pulled HIGH or LOW.
The last bit of the slave address defines the operation to be performed. When set to
logic 1 a read is selected, while a logic 0 selects a write operation.
7.2 Control register
Following the successful acknowledgement of the slave address, the bus master will send
a byte to the PCA9557, which will be stored in the control register. This register can be
written and read via the I2C-bus.

7.3 Register descriptions
7.3.1 Register 0 - Input port register
This register is a read-only port. It reflects the incoming logic levels of the pins, regardless
of whether the pin is defined as an input or an output by the Configuration register. Writes
to this register have no effect.
7.3.2 Register 1 - Output port register
This register reflects the outgoing logic levels of the pins defined as outputs by the
Configuration register. Bit values in this register have no effect on pins defined as inputs.
In turn, reads from this register reflect the value that is in the flip-flop controlling the output
selection, not the actual pin value.
7.3.3 Register 2 - Polarity inversion register
This register enables polarity inversion of pins defined as inputs by the Configuration
register. If a bit in this register is set (written with logic 1), the corresponding port pin’s
polarity is inverted. If a bit in this register is cleared (written with logic 0), the
corresponding port pin’s original polarity is retained.
7.3.4 Register 3 - Configuration register
This register configures the directions of the I/O pins. If a bit in this register is set, the
corresponding port pin is enabled as an input with high-impedance output driver. If a bit in
this register is cleared, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an output.

7.4 Power-on reset
When power is applied to VDD, an internal Power-On Reset (POR) holds the PCA9557 in
a reset condition until VDD has reached VPOR. At that point, the reset condition is released
and the PCA9557 registers and I2C-bus/SMBus state machine will initialize to their default
states. Thereafter, VDD must be lowered below 0.2 V to reset the device.
7.5 RESET input
A reset can be accomplished by holding the RESET pin LOW for a minimum of tw(rst). The
PCA9557 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.
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 10).
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 11).

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 12).
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 and hold
times 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.

9. Application design-in information
9.1 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 18. 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 19 shows a high value resistor in parallel with the LED. Figure 20 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.
Device address configured as 0011 100x for this example.

14. Handling information
Inputs and outputs are protected against electrostatic discharge in normal handling.
However, to be completely safe you must take normal precautions appropriate to handling
integrated circuits.
15. 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”
.
15.1 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.
15.2 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
15.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:

Product data sheet Rev. 06 — 11 June 2008 22 of 26
NXP Semiconductors PCA9557
8-bit I2C-bus and SMBus I/O port with reset
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
15.4 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 26) 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 12 and 13
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 26.
