PCF8574; PCF8574A Remote 8-bit I/O expander for I2C-bus with interrupt Rev. 5 -- 27 May 2013 Product data sheet 1. General description The PCF8574/74A provides general-purpose remote I/O expansion via the two-wire bidirectional I2C-bus (serial clock (SCL), serial data (SDA)). The devices consist of eight quasi-bidirectional ports, 100 kHz I2C-bus interface, three hardware address inputs and interrupt output operating between 2.5 V and 6 V. The quasi-bidirectional port can be independently assigned as an input to monitor interrupt status or keypads, or as an output to activate indicator devices such as LEDs. System master can read from the input port or write to the output port through a single register. The low current consumption of 2.5 A (typical, static) is great for mobile applications and the latched output ports directly drive LEDs. The PCF8574 and PCF8574A are identical, except for the different fixed portion of the slave address. The three hardware address pins allow eight of each device to be on the same I2C-bus, so there can be up to 16 of these I/O expanders PCF8574/74A together on the same I2C-bus, supporting up to 128 I/Os (for example, 128 LEDs). The active LOW open-drain interrupt output (INT) can be connected to the interrupt logic of the microcontroller and is activated when any input state differs from its corresponding input port register state. It is used to indicate to the microcontroller that an input state has changed and the device needs to be interrogated without the microcontroller continuously polling the input register via the I2C-bus. The internal Power-On Reset (POR) initializes the I/Os as inputs with a weak internal pull-up 100 A current source. 2.

Functional description Refer to Figure 1 "Block diagram". 7.1 Device address Following a START condition, the bus master must send the address of the slave it is accessing and the operation it wants to perform (read or write). The address format of the PCF8574/74A is shown in Figure 6. Slave address pins A2, A1 and A0 are held HIGH or LOW to choose one of eight slave addresses. To conserve power, no internal pull-up resistors are incorporated on A2, A1 or A0, so they must be externally held HIGH or LOW. The address pins (A2, A1, A0) can connect to VDD or VSS directly or through resistors. R/W slave address 0 1 0 0 fixed A2 A1 A0 R/W slave address 0 0 hardware selectable 1 1 fixed 1 A2 A1 0 hardware selectable 002aad628 002aad629 a. PCF8574 Fig 6. A0 b. PCF8574A PCF8574 and PCF8574A slave addresses The last bit of the first byte defines the operation to be performed. When set to logic 1 a read is selected, while a logic 0 selects a write operation (write operation is shown in Figure 6). 7.1.1 Address maps The PCF8574 and PCF8574A are functionally the same, but have a different fixed portion (A6 to A3) of the slave address. This allows eight of the PCF8574 and eight of the PCF8574A to be on the same I2C-bus without address conflict. Table 4.

I/O programming 8.1 Quasi-bidirectional I/Os A quasi-bidirectional I/O is an input or output port without using a direction control register. Whenever the master reads the register, the value returned to master depends on the actual voltage or status of the pin. At power on, all the ports are HIGH with a weak 100 A internal pull-up to VDD, but can be driven LOW by an internal transistor, or an external signal. The I/O ports are entirely independent of each other, but each I/O octal is controlled by the same read or write data byte. Advantages of the quasi-bidirectional I/O over totem pole I/O include: * Better for driving LEDs since the p-channel (transistor to VDD) is small, which saves die size and therefore cost. LED drive only requires an internal transistor to ground, while the LED is connected to VDD through a current-limiting resistor. Totem pole I/O have both n-channel and p-channel transistors, which allow solid HIGH and LOW output levels without a pull-up resistor -- good for logic levels. * Simpler architecture -- only a single register and the I/O can be both input and output at the same time. Totem pole I/O have a direction register that specifies the port pin direction and it is always in that configuration unless the direction is explicitly changed. * Does not require a command byte. The simplicity of one register (no need for the pointer register or, technically, the command byte) is an advantage in some embedded systems where every byte counts because of memory or bandwidth limitations.

All rights reserved. 6 of 33 PCF8574; PCF8574A NXP Semiconductors Remote 8-bit I/O expander for I2C-bus with interrupt There is only one register to control four possibilities of the port pin: Input HIGH, input LOW, output HIGH, or output LOW. Input HIGH: The master needs to write 1 to the register to set the port as an input mode if the device is not in the default power-on condition. The master reads the register to check the input status. If the external source pulls the port pin up to VDD or drives logic 1, then the master will read the value of 1. Input LOW: The master needs to write 1 to the register to set the port to input mode if the device is not in the default power-on condition. The master reads the register to check the input status. If the external source pulls the port pin down to VSS or drives logic 0, which sinks the weak 100 A current source, then the master will read the value of 0. Output HIGH: The master writes 1 to the register. There is an additional `accelerator' or strong pull-up current when the master sets the port HIGH. The additional strong pull-up is only active during the HIGH time of the acknowledge clock cycle. This accelerator current helps the port's 100 A current source make a faster rising edge into a heavily loaded output, but only at the start of the acknowledge clock cycle to avoid bus contention if an external signal is pulling the port LOW to VSS/driving the port with logic 0 at the same time. After the half clock cycle there is only the 100 A current source to hold the port HIGH. Output LOW: The master writes 0 to the register. There is a strong current sink transistor that holds the port pin LOW. A large current may flow into the port, which could potentially damage the part if the master writes a 0 to the register and an external source is pulling the port HIGH at the same time.

All rights reserved. 7 of 33 PCF8574; PCF8574A NXP Semiconductors Remote 8-bit I/O expander for I2C-bus with interrupt 8.2 Writing to the port (Output mode) The master (microcontroller) sends the START condition and slave address setting the last bit of the address byte to logic 0 for the write mode. The PCF8574/74A acknowledges and the master then sends the data byte for P7 to P0 to the port register. As the clock line goes HIGH, the 8-bit data is presented on the port lines after it has been acknowledged by the PCF8574/74A. If a LOW is written, the strong pull-down turns on and stays on. If a HIGH is written, the strong pull-up turns on for 12 of the clock cycle, then the line is held HIGH by the weak current source. The master can then send a STOP or ReSTART condition or continue sending data. The number of data bytes that can be sent successively is not limited and the previous data is overwritten every time a data byte has been sent and acknowledged. Ensure a logic 1 is written for any port that is being used as an input to ensure the strong external pull-down is turned off.

To enter the Read mode the master (microcontroller) addresses the slave device and sets the last bit of the address byte to logic 1 (address byte read). The slave will acknowledge and then send the data byte to the master. The master will NACK and then send the STOP condition or ACK and read the input register again. The read of any pin being used as an output will indicate HIGH or LOW depending on the actual state of the pin. If the data on the input port changes faster than the master can read, this data may be lost. The DATA 2 and DATA3 are lost because these data did not meet the setup time and hold time (see Figure 9). slave address data from port SDA S A6 A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 A0 1 START condition R/W DATA 1 A data from port A acknowledge from slave DATA 4 no acknowledge from master 1 P STOP condition acknowledge from master read from port DATA 2 data at port DATA 1 DATA 3 th(D) DATA 4 tsu(D) INT tv(INT) trst(INT) trst(INT) 002aah383 A LOW-to-HIGH transition of SDA while SCL is HIGH is defined as the STOP condition (P).

Remark: Bold type = generated by slave device. 8.4 Power-on reset When power is applied to VDD, an internal Power-On Reset (POR) holds the PCF8574/74A in a reset condition until VDD has reached VPOR. At that point, the reset condition is released and the PCF8574/74A registers and I2C-bus/SMBus state machine will initialize to their default states of all I/Os to inputs with weak current source to VDD. Thereafter VDD must be lowered below VPOR and back up to the operation voltage for power-on reset cycle.

As soon as a port input is changed, the INT will be active (LOW) and notify the microcontroller. An interrupt is generated at any rising or falling edge of the port inputs. After time tv(Q), the signal INT is valid. The interrupt will reset to HIGH when data on the port is changed to the original setting or data is read or written by the master. In the Write mode, the interrupt may be reset (HIGH) on the rising edge of the acknowledge bit of the address byte and also on the rising edge of the write to port pulse. The interrupt will always be reset (HIGH) on the falling edge of the write to port pulse (see Figure 8). The interrupt is reset (HIGH) in the Read mode on the rising edge of the read from port pulse (see Figure 9). During the interrupt reset, any I/O change close to the read or write pulse may not generate an interrupt, or the interrupt will have a very short pulse. After the interrupt is reset, any change in I/Os will be detected and transmitted as an INT. At power-on reset all ports are in Input mode and the initial state of the ports is HIGH, therefore, for any port pin that is pulled LOW or driven LOW by external source, the interrupt output will be active (output LOW).

Characteristics of the I2C-bus The I2C-bus is for 2-way, 2-wire communication between different ICs or modules. The two wires 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. 9.1 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 11). SDA SCL data line stable; data valid change of data allowed mba607 Fig 11. Bit transfer 9.1.1 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 12). SDA SCL S P START condition STOP condition mba608 Fig 12. Definition of START and STOP conditions 9.2 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 13).

System configuration 9.3 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 (see Figure 14). The acknowledge bit is an active LOW level (generated by the receiving device) that indicates to the transmitter that the data transfer was successful. 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 wants to issue an acknowledge bit 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 bit 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. data output by transmitter not acknowledge data output by receiver acknowledge SCL from master 1 2 S START condition 8 9 clock pulse for acknowledgement 002aaa987 Fig 14.

Application design-in information 10.1 Bidirectional I/O expander applications In the 8-bit I/O expander application shown in Figure 15, P0 and P1 are inputs, and P2 to P7 are outputs. When used in this configuration, during a write, the input (P0 and P1) must be written as HIGH so the external devices fully control the input ports. The desired HIGH or LOW logic levels may be written to the ports used as outputs (P2 to P7). If 10 A internal output HIGH is not enough current source, the port needs external pull-up resistor. During a read, the logic levels of the external devices driving the input ports (P0 and P1) and the previous written logic level to the output ports (P2 to P7) will be read. The GPIO also has an interrupt line (INT) that can be connected to the interrupt logic of the microcontroller. By sending an interrupt signal on this line, the remote I/O informs the microprocessor that there has been a change of data on its ports without having to communicate via the I2C-bus.

Bidirectional I/O expander application 10.2 How to read and write to I/O expander (example) In the application example of PCF8574 shown in Figure 15, the microcontroller wants to control the P3 switch ON and the P7 LED ON when the temperature sensor P0 changes. 1. When the system power on: Core Processor needs to issue an initial command to set P0 and P1 as inputs and P[7:2] as outputs with value 1010 00 (LED off, MP3 off, camera on, audio off, switch off and latch off). 2. Operation: When the temperature changes above the threshold, the temperature sensor signal will toggle from HIGH to LOW. The INT will be activated and notifies the `core processor' that there have been changes on the input pins. Read the input register. If P0 = 0 (temperature sensor has changed), then turn on LED and turn on switch. 3.

In applications requiring additional drive, two port pins may be connected together to sink up to 20 mA current. Both bits must then always be turned on or off together. Up to five pins can be connected together to drive 80 mA, which is the device recommended total limit. Each pin needs its own limiting resistor as shown in Figure 16 to prevent damage to the device should all ports not be turned on at the same time.

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". 17.1 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. 17.2 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 17.3 Wave soldering Key characteristics in wave soldering are: PCF8574_PCF8574A Product data sheet All information provided in this document is subject to legal disclaimers.

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 11 and 12 Table 11.

Soldering of through-hole mount packages 18.1 Introduction to soldering through-hole mount packages This text gives a very brief insight into wave, dip and manual soldering. Wave soldering is the preferred method for mounting of through-hole mount IC packages on a printed-circuit board. 18.2 Soldering by dipping or by solder wave Driven by legislation and environmental forces the worldwide use of lead-free solder pastes is increasing. Typical dwell time of the leads in the wave ranges from 3 seconds to 4 seconds at 250 C or 265 C, depending on solder material applied, SnPb or Pb-free respectively. 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. 18.3 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 C and 400 C, contact may be up to 5 seconds.
