2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ThePCF8574isasiliconCMOScircuit.Itprovidesgeneral
purpose remote I/O expansion for most microcontroller
families via the two-line bidirectional bus (I2C-bus).
The device consists of an 8-bit quasi-bidirectional port and
an I2C-bus interface. The PCF8574 has a low current
consumption and includes latched outputs with high
current drive capability for directly driving LEDs. It also
possesses an interrupt line (INT) which can be connected
to the interrupt logic of the microcontroller. By sending an
interrupt signal on this line, the remote I/O can inform the
microcontrollerifthere is incoming dataonits ports without
having to communicate via the I2C-bus. This means that
the PCF8574 can remain a simple slave device.
The PCF8574 and PCF8574A versions differ only in their
slave address as shown in Fig.10.

6 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) anda serialclock 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.
6.1 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 Fig.5).
6.2 Start and stop conditions
Bothdata and clocklinesremain HIGHwhenthe busisnot
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 Fig.6).
6.3 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 Fig.7).

6.4 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 (see Fig.8). 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
downthe 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
thetransmittermust leave thedataline HIGH toenablethe
master to generate a stop condition.

A LOW-to-HIGH transition of SDA, while SCL is HIGH is defined as the stop condition (P). Transfer of data can be stopped at any moment by a stop condition. When this occurs, data present
at the last acknowledge phase is valid (output mode). Input data is lost.

Philips Semiconductors Product specification
Remote 8-bit I/O expander for I2C-bus PCF8574
7.2 Interrupt output
The PCF8574 provides an open-drain output (INT) which
can be fed to a corresponding input of the microcontroller
(see Figs 13 and 14). This gives these chips a type of
master function which can initiate an action elsewhere in
the system.
Aninterruptisgenerated by anyrisingorfallingedge of the
port inputs in the input mode. After time tiv the signal INT is
valid.
Resetting and reactivating the interrupt circuit is achieved
when data on the port is changed to the original setting or
dataisreadfrom or writtentotheportwhich has generated
the interrupt.
Resetting occurs as follows:
IntheREADmodeattheacknowledgebitaftertherising
edge of the SCL signal
In the WRITE mode at the acknowledge bit after the
HIGH-to-LOW transition of the SCL signal
Interrupts which occur during the acknowledge clock
pulse may be lost (or very short) due to the resetting of
the interrupt during this pulse.
Each change of the I/Os after resetting will be detected
and, after the next rising clock edge, will be transmitted as
INT. Reading from or writing to another device does not
affect the interrupt circuit.
7.3 Quasi-bidirectional I/Os
A quasi-bidirectional I/O can be used as an input or output
without the use of a control signal for data direction
(see Fig.15). At power-on the I/Os are HIGH. In this mode
only a current source to VDD is active. An additional strong
pull-up to VDD allows fast rising edges into heavily loaded
outputs. These devices turn on when an output is written
HIGH, and are switched off by the negative edge of SCL.
The I/Os should be HIGH before being used as inputs.

13 SOLDERING
13.1 Introduction
Thistextgivesaverybriefinsight to a complextechnology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our
“Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages”
(document order number 9398 652 90011).
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC
packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when
through-holeandsurfacemountcomponentsaremixedon
one printed-circuit board. Wave soldering can still be used
for certain surface mount ICs, but it is not suitable for fine
pitch SMDs. In these situations reflow soldering is
recommended.
13.2 Through-hole mount packages
13.2.1 SOLDERING BY DIPPING OR BY SOLDER WAVE
The maximum permissible temperature of the solder is
260 °C; solder at this temperature must not be in contact
with the joints for more than 5 seconds. The total contact
time of successive solder waves must not exceed
5 seconds.
The device may be mounted up to the seating plane, but
the temperature of the plastic body must not exceed the
specified maximum storage temperature (Tstg(max)). If the
printed-circuit board has been pre-heated, forced cooling
may be necessary immediately after soldering to keep the
temperature within the permissible limit.
13.2.2 MANUAL SOLDERING
Apply the soldering iron (24 V or less) to the lead(s) of the
package, either below the seating plane or not more than
2 mm above it. If the temperature of the soldering iron bit
is less than 300 °C it may remain in contact for up to
10 seconds. If the bit temperature is between
300 and 400 °C, contact may be up to 5 seconds.
13.3 Surface mount packages
13.3.1 REFLOW SOLDERING
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied
tothe printed-circuit boardbyscreen printing,stencillingor
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.
Several methods exist for reflowing; for example,
convection or convection/infrared heating in a conveyor
type oven. Throughput times (preheating, soldering and
cooling) vary between 100 and 200 seconds depending
on heating method.
Typical reflow peak temperatures range from
215 to 250 °C. The top-surface temperature of the
packages should preferable be kept below 220 °C for
thick/large packages, and below 235 °C for small/thin
packages.
13.3.2 WAVE SOLDERING
Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended
forsurfacemountdevices(SMDs)orprinted-circuitboards
with a high component density, as solder bridging and
non-wetting can present major problems.
To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering
method was specifically developed.
If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be
observed for optimal results:
Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a
turbulent wave with high upward pressure followed by a
smooth laminar wave.
For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):
larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint
longitudinal axis is preferred to be parallel to the
transport direction of the printed-circuit board;
smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis
must be parallel to the transport direction of the
printed-circuit board.
The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the
downstream end.
Forpackageswithleadsonfoursides,thefootprintmust
be placed at a 45°angle to the transport direction of the
printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate
solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
During placement and before soldering, the package must
be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be
applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the
adhesive is cured.
Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 °C.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal
of corrosive residues in most applications.
13.3.3 MANUAL SOLDERING
Fix the component by first soldering two
diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage (24 V or
less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead.
Contact time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to
300 °C. When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can
be soldered in one operation within 2 to 5 seconds
between 270 and 320 °C.

13.4 Suitability of IC packages for wave, reflow and dipping soldering methods
Notes
1. Formoredetailed information ontheBGA packages referto the
“(LF)BGAApplication Note
(AN01026);order a copy
from your Philips Semiconductors sales office.
2. All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the maximum
temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or external package
cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn effect). For details, refer to the
Drypack information in the
“Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages; Section: Packing Methods”
.
3. For SDIP packages, the longitudinal axis must be parallel to the transport direction of the printed-circuit board.
4. These packages are not suitable for wave soldering. On versions with the heatsink on the bottom side, the solder
cannot penetrate between the printed-circuit board and the heatsink. On versions with the heatsink on the top side,
the solder might be deposited on the heatsink surface.
5. If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45° angle to the solder wave direction.
The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
6. Wave soldering is suitable for LQFP, QFP and TQFP packages with a pitch (e) larger than 0.8 mm; it is definitely not
suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm.
7. Wave soldering is suitable for SSOP and TSSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.65 mm; it is
definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5 mm.
