PCA9635  
16-bit Fm+ I2C-bus LED driver  
Rev. 07 — 16 July 2009  
Product data sheet  
1. General description  
The PCA9635 is an I2C-bus controlled 16-bit LED driver optimized for  
Red/Green/Blue/Amber (RGBA) color mixing applications. Each LED output has its own  
8-bit resolution (256 steps) fixed frequency individual PWM controller that operates at  
97 kHz with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0 % to 99.6 % to allow the LED to be set  
to a specific brightness value. An additional 8-bit resolution (256 steps) group PWM  
controller has both a fixed frequency of 190 Hz and an adjustable frequency between  
24 Hz to once every 10.73 seconds with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0 % to 99.6 %  
that is used to either dim or blink all LEDs with the same value.  
Each LED output can be off, on (no PWM control), set at its individual PWM controller  
value or at both individual and group PWM controller values. The LED output driver is  
programmed to be either open-drain with a 25 mA current sink capability at 5 V or  
totem-pole with a 25 mA sink, 10 mA source capability at 5 V. The PCA9635 operates with  
a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V and the outputs are 5.5 V tolerant. LEDs can be  
directly connected to the LED output (up to 25 mA, 5.5 V) or controlled with external  
drivers and a minimum amount of discrete components for larger current or higher voltage  
LEDs.  
The PCA9635 is one of the first LED controller devices in a new Fast-mode Plus (Fm+)  
family. Fm+ devices offer higher frequency (up to 1 MHz) and more densely populated bus  
operation (up to 4000 pF).  
The active LOW Output Enable input pin (OE) allows asynchronous control of the LED  
outputs and can be used to set all the outputs to a defined I2C-bus programmable logic  
state. The OE can also be used to externally PWM the outputs, which is useful when  
multiple devices need to be dimmed or blinked together using software control.  
Software programmable LED Group and three Sub Call I2C-bus addresses allow all or  
defined groups of PCA9635 devices to respond to a common I2C-bus address, allowing  
for example, all red LEDs to be turned on or off at the same time or marquee chasing  
effect, thus minimizing I2C-bus commands. Seven hardware address pins allow up to  
126 devices on the same bus.  
The Software Reset (SWRST) Call allows the master to perform a reset of the PCA9635  
through the I2C-bus, identical to the Power-On Reset (POR) that initializes the registers to  
their default state causing the outputs to be set HIGH (LED off). This allows an easy and  
quick way to reconfigure all device registers to the same condition.

7. Functional description  
Refer to Figure 1 “Block diagram of PCA9635”.  
7.1 Device addresses  
Following a START condition, the bus master must output the address of the slave it is  
accessing.  
There are a maximum of 128 possible programmable addresses using the 7 hardware  
address pins. Two of these addresses, Software Reset and LED All Call, cannot be used  
because their default power-up state is ON, leaving a maximum of 126 addresses. Using  
other reserved addresses, as well as any other Sub Call address, will reduce the total  
number of possible addresses even further.  
7.1.1 Regular I2C-bus slave address  
The I2C-bus slave address of the PCA9635 is shown in Figure 3. To conserve power, no  
internal pull-up resistors are incorporated on the hardware selectable address pins and  
they must be pulled HIGH or LOW.  
Remark: Using reserved I2C-bus addresses will interfere with other devices, but only if the  
devices are on the bus and/or the bus will be open to other I2C-bus systems at some later  
date. In a closed system where the designer controls the address assignment these  
addresses can be used since the PCA9635 treats them like any other address. The  
LED All Call, Software Rest and PCA9564 or PCA9665 slave address (if on the bus) can  
never be used for individual device addresses.  
PCA9635 LED All Call address (1110 000) and Software Reset (0000 0110) which  
are active on start-up  
PCA9564 (0000 000) or PCA9665 (1110 000) slave address which is active on  
start-up  
‘reserved for future use’ I2C-bus addresses (0000 011, 1111 1XX)  
slave devices that use the 10-bit addressing scheme (1111 0XX)  
slave devices that are designed to respond to the General Call address (0000 000)  
High-speed mode (Hs-mode) master code (0000 1XX)

The last bit of the address byte defines the operation to be performed. When set to logic 1  
a read is selected, while a logic 0 selects a write operation.  
7.1.2 LED all call I2C-bus address  
Default power-up value (ALLCALLADR register): E0h or 1110 000X  
Programmable through I2C-bus (volatile programming)  
At power-up, LED All Call I2C-bus address is enabled. PCA9635 sends an ACK when  
E0h (R/W = 0) or E1h (R/W = 1) is sent by the master.  
See Section 7.3.8 “ALLCALLADR, LED All Call I2C-bus address” for more detail.  
Remark: The default LED All Call I2C-bus address (E0h or 1110 000X) must not be used  
as a regular I2C-bus slave address since this address is enabled at power-up. All the  
PCA9635s on the I2C-bus will acknowledge the address if sent by the I2C-bus master.  
7.1.3 LED sub call I2C-bus addresses  
3 different I2C-bus addresses can be used  
Default power-up values:  
SUBADR1 register: E2h or 1110 001X  
SUBADR2 register: E4h or 1110 010X  
SUBADR3 register: E8h or 1110 100X  
Programmable through I2C-bus (volatile programming)  
At power-up, Sub Call I2C-bus addresses are disabled. PCA9635 does not send an  
ACK when E2h (R/W = 0) or E3h (R/W = 1), E4h (R/W = 0) or E5h (R/W = 1), or  
E8h (R/W = 0) or E9h (R/W = 1) is sent by the master.  
See Section 7.3.7 “SUBADR1 to SUBADR3, I2C-bus subaddress 1 to 3” for more detail.  
Remark: The default LED Sub Call I2C-bus addresses may be used as regular I2C-bus  
slave addresses as long as they are disabled.

7.1.4 Software reset I2C-bus address  
The address shown in Figure 4 is used when a reset of the PCA9635 needs to be  
performed by the master. The Software Reset address (SWRST Call) must be used with  
R/W = logic 0. If R/W = logic 1, the PCA9635 does not acknowledge the SWRST. See  
Section 7.6 “Software reset” for more detail.

Remark: The Software Reset I2C-bus address is a reserved address and cannot be used  
as a regular I2C-bus slave address or as an LED All Call or LED Sub Call address.  
7.2 Control register  
Following the successful acknowledgement of the slave address, LED All Call address or  
LED Sub Call address, the bus master will send a byte to the PCA9635, which will be  
stored in the Control register.  
The lowest 5 bits are used as a pointer to determine which register will be accessed  
(D[4:0]). The highest 3 bits are used as Auto-Increment flag and Auto-Increment options  
(AI[2:0]).

Remark: The Control register does not apply to the Software Reset I2C-bus address.  
Fig 5. Control register  
When the Auto-Increment flag is set (AI2 = logic 1), the five low order bits of the Control  
register are automatically incremented after a read or write. This allows the user to  
program the registers sequentially. Four different types of Auto-Increment are possible,  
depending on AI1 and AI0 values.

Auto-Increment for individual and global control registers only. D[4:0] roll  
over to ‘0 0010’ after the last register (1 0011) is accessed.  
Remark: Other combinations not shown in Table 3 (AI[2:0] = 001, 010, and 011) are  
reserved and must not be used for proper device operation.  
AI[2:0] = 000 is used when the same register must be accessed several times during a  
single I2C-bus communication, for example, changes the brightness of a single LED. Data  
is overwritten each time the register is accessed during a write operation.  
AI[2:0] = 100 is used when all the registers must be sequentially accessed, for example,  
power-up programming.  
AI[2:0] = 101 is used when the four LED drivers must be individually programmed with  
different values during the same I2C-bus communication, for example, changing color  
setting to another color setting.  
AI[2:0] = 110 is used when the LED drivers must be globally programmed with different  
settings during the same I2C-bus communication, for example, global brightness or  
blinking change.  
AI[2:0] = 111 is used when individual and global changes must be performed during the  
same I2C-bus communication, for example, changing a color and global brightness at the  
same time.  
Only the 5 least significant bits D[4:0] are affected by the AI[2:0] bits.  
When the Control register is written, the register entry point determined by D[4:0] is the  
first register that will be addressed (read or write operation), and can be anywhere  
between 0 0000 and 1 1011 (as defined in Table 4). When AI[2] = 1, the Auto-Increment  
flag is set and the rollover value at which the register increment stops and goes to the next  
one is determined by AI[2:0]. See Table 3 for rollover values. For example, if the Control  
register = 1111 0100 (F4h), then the register addressing sequence will be (in hex):  
14 1B 00 13 02 13 02 13 02 … as long  
as the master keeps sending or reading data.

When DMBLNK bit (MODE2 register) is programmed with logic 0, a 190 Hz fixed  
frequency signal is superimposed with the 97 kHz individual brightness control signal.  
GRPPWM is then used as a global brightness control allowing the LED outputs to be  
dimmed with the same value. The value in GRPFREQ is then a ‘Don’t care’.  
General brightness for the 16 outputs is controlled through 256 linear steps from 00h

Subaddresses are programmable through the I2C-bus. Default power-up values are E2h,  
E4h, E8h, and the device(s) will not acknowledge these addresses right after power-up  
(the corresponding SUBx bit in MODE1 register is equal to 0).  
Once subaddresses have been programmed to their right values, SUBx bits need to be  
set to logic 1 in order to have the device acknowledging these addresses (MODE1  
register).  
Only the 7 MSBs representing the I2C-bus subaddress are valid. The LSB in SUBADRx  
register is a read-only bit (0).  
When SUBx is set to logic 1, the corresponding I2C-bus subaddress can be used during  
either an I2C-bus read or write sequence.

7.4 Active LOW output enable input  
The active LOW output enable (OE) pin, allows to enable or disable all the LED outputs at  
the same time.  
When a LOW level is applied to OE pin, all the LED outputs are enabled and follow the  
output state defined in the LEDOUT register with the polarity defined by INVRT bit  
(MODE2 register).  
When a HIGH level is applied to OE pin, all the LED outputs are programmed to the  
value that is defined by OUTNE[1:0] in the MODE2 register.

The OE pin can be used as a synchronization signal to switch on/off several PCA9635  
devices at the same time. This requires an external clock reference that provides blinking  
period and the duty cycle.  
The OE pin can also be used as an external dimming control signal. The frequency of the  
external clock must be high enough not to be seen by the human eye, and the duty cycle  
value determines the brightness of the LEDs.  
Remark: Do not use OE as an external blinking control signal when internal global  
blinking is selected (DMBLNK = 1, MODE2 register) since it will result in an undefined  
blinking pattern. Do not use OE as an external dimming control signal when internal global  
dimming is selected (DMBLNK = 0, MODE2 register) since it will result in an undefined  
dimming pattern.  
7.5 Power-on reset  
When power is applied to VDD, an internal power-on reset holds the PCA9635 in a reset  
condition until VDD has reached VPOR. At this point, the reset condition is released and the  
PCA9635 registers and I2C-bus state machine are initialized to their default states (all  
zeroes) causing all the channels to be deselected. Thereafter, VDD must be lowered below  
0.2 V to reset the device.

7.6 Software reset  
The Software Reset Call (SWRST Call) allows all the devices in the I2C-bus to be reset to  
the power-up state value through a specific formatted I2C-bus command. To be performed  
correctly, it implies that the I2C-bus is functional and that there is no device hanging the  
bus.  
The SWRST Call function is defined as the following:  
1. A START command is sent by the I2C-bus master.  
2. The reserved SWRST I2C-bus address ‘0000 011’ with the R/W bit set to ‘0’ (write) is  
sent by the I2C-bus master.  
3. The PCA9635 device(s) acknowledge(s) after seeing the SWRST Call address  
‘0000 0110’ (06h) only. If the R/W bit is set to ‘1’ (read), no acknowledge is returned to  
the I2C-bus master.  
4. Once the SWRST Call address has been sent and acknowledged, the master sends  
2 bytes with 2 specific values (SWRST data byte 1 and byte 2):  
a. Byte 1 = A5h: the PCA9635 acknowledges this value only. If byte 1 is not equal to  
A5h, the PCA9635 does not acknowledge it.  
b. Byte 2 = 5Ah: the PCA9635 acknowledges this value only. If byte 2 is not equal to  
5Ah, then the PCA9635 does not acknowledge it.  
If more than 2 bytes of data are sent, the PCA9635 does not acknowledge any more.  
5. Once the right 2 bytes (SWRST data byte 1 and byte 2 only) have been sent and  
correctly acknowledged, the master sends a STOP command to end the SWRST Call:  
the PCA9635 then resets to the default value (power-up value) and is ready to be  
addressed again within the specified bus free time (tBUF).  
The I2C-bus master must interpret a non-acknowledge from the PCA9635 (at any time) as  
a ‘SWRST Call Abort’. The PCA9635 does not initiate a reset of its registers. This  
happens only when the format of the SWRST Call sequence is not correct.  
7.7 Using the PCA9635 with and without external drivers  
The PCA9635 LED output drivers are 5.5 V only tolerant and can sink up to 25 mA at 5 V.  
If the device needs to drive LEDs to a higher voltage and/or higher current, use of an  
external driver is required.  
INVRT bit (MODE2 register) can be used to keep the LED PWM control firmware the  
same (PWMx and GRPPWM values directly calculated from their respective formulas  
and the LED output state determined by LEDOUT register value) independently of the  
type of external driver. This bit allows LED output polarity inversion/non-inversion only  
when OE = 0.  
OUTDRV bit (MODE2 register) allows minimizing the amount of external components  
required to control the external driver (N-type or P-type device).

A 97 kHz fixed frequency signal with programmable duty cycle (8 bits, 256 steps) is used  
to control individually the brightness for each LED.  
On top of this signal, one of the following signals can be superimposed (this signal can be  
applied to the 4 LED outputs):  
A lower 190 Hz fixed frequency signal with programmable duty cycle (8 bits,  
256 steps) is used to provide a global brightness control.  
A programmable frequency signal from 24 Hz to 110.73 Hz (8 bits, 256 steps) with  
programmable duty cycle (8 bits, 256 steps) is used to provide a global blinking  
control.

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 7).

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 8).

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 9).

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 time and hold  
time 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.

16-bit Fm+ I2C-bus LED driver  
Question 1: What kind of edge rate control is there on the outputs?  
The typical edge rates depend on the output configuration, supply voltage, and the  
applied load. The outputs can be configured as either open-drain NMOS or  
totem-pole outputs. If the customer is using the part to directly drive LEDs, they  
should be using it in an open-drain NMOS, if they are concerned about the maximum  
ISS and ground bounce. The edge rate control was designed primarily to slow down  
the turn-on of the output device; it turns off rather quickly (~1.5 ns). In simulation, the  
typical turn-on time for the open-drain NMOS was ~14 ns (VDD = 3.6 V; CL = 50 pF;  
RPU = 500 ).  
Question 2: Is ground bounce possible?  
Ground bounce is a possibility, especially if all 16 outputs are changed at full current  
(25 mA each). There is a fair amount of decoupling capacitance on chip (~50 pF),  
which is intended to suppress some of the ground bounce. The customer will need to  
determine if additional decoupling capacitance externally placed as close as  
physically possible to the device is required.  
Question 3: Can I really sink 400 mA through the single ground pin on the package and  
will this cause any ground bounce problem due to the PWM of the LEDs?  
Yes, you can sink 400 mA through a single ground pin on the package. Although the  
package only has one ground pin, there are two ground pads on the die itself  
connected to this one pin. Although some ground bounce is likely, it will not disrupt the  
operation of the part and would be reduced by the external decoupling capacitance.  
Question 4: I can’t turn the LEDs on or off, but their registers are set properly. Why?  
Check the Mode Register 1 bit 4 SLEEP setting. The value needs to be 0 so that the  
OSC is turn on. If the OSC is turned off, the LEDs cannot be turned on or off and also  
can’t be dimmed or blinked.  
Question 5: I’m using LEDs with integrated Zener diodes and the IC is getting very hot.  
Why?  
The IC outputs can be set to either open-drain or push-pull and default to push-pull  
outputs. In this application with the Zener diodes, they need to be set to open-drain  
since in the push-pull architecture there is a low resistance path to GND through the  
Zener and this is causing the IC to overheat. The PCA9632/33/34/35 ICs all power-up  
in the push-pull output mode and with the logic state HIGH, so one of the first things  
that need to be done is to set the outputs to open-drain.

250 ns. This allows series protection resistors to be connected between the SDA and the SCL pins and the SDA/SCL bus lines without  
exceeding the maximum specified tf.  
[6] Cb = total capacitance of one bus line in pF.  
[7] Input filters on the SDA and SCL inputs suppress noise spikes less than 50 ns.

16. Handling information  
All input and output pins are protected against ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) under  
normal handling. When handling ensure that the appropriate precautions are taken as  
described in JESD625-A or equivalent standards.  
17. 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

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  
17.4 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 21) 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 19 and 20

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 21.
