ENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The SX1507, SX1508 and SX1509 are complete ultra  
low voltage 1.2V to 3.6V General Purpose parallel  
Input/Output (GPIO) expanders ideal for low power  
handheld battery powered equipment. This family of  
GPIOs comes in 4-, 8-, 16-channel configuration and  
allows easy serial expansion of I/O through a  
standard 400kHz I2C interface. GPIO devices can  
provide additional control and monitoring when the  
microcontroller or chipset has insufficient I/O ports, or  
in systems where serial communication and control  
from a remote location is advantageous.  
1.2V to 3.6V Low Operating Voltage with Dual  
Independent I/O Rails (VCC1, VCC2)  
Enable Direct Level Shifting Between I/O  
Banks and Host Controller  
5.5V Tolerant I/Os, Up to 15mA Output Sink on  
All I/Os (No Total Sink Current Limit)  
Integrated LED Driver for Enhanced Lighting  
Intensity Control (256-step PWM)  
Blink Control (224 On/Off values)  
Breathing Control (224 Fade In/Out values)  
These devices can also act as a level shifter to  
connect a microcontroller running at one voltage level  
to a component running at a different voltage level,  
thus eliminating the need for extra level translating  
circuits. The core is operating as low as 1.425V while  
the dual I/O banks can operate between 1.2V and  
3.6V independent of the core voltage and each other  
(5.5V tolerant).  
On-Chip Keypad Scanning Engine  
Support Up to 8x8 Matrix (64 Keys)  
Configurable Input Debouncer  
4/8/16 Channels of True Bi-directional Style I/O  
Programmable Pull-up/Pull-down  
Push/Pull or Open-drain outputs  
Programmable Polarity  
The SX1507, SX1508 and SX1509 feature a fully  
programmable LED Driver with internal oscillator for  
enhanced lighting control such as intensity (via 256-  
step PWM), blinking and breathing (fade in/out) make  
them highly versatile for a wide range of LED  
applications.  
Open Drain Active Low Interrupt Output (NINT)  
Bit Maskable  
Programmable Edge Sensitivity  
Built-in Clock Management (Internal 2MHz  
Oscillator/External Clock Input, 7 clock values)  
OSCIO can be Configured as GPO  
In addition, keypad application is also supported with  
the on-chip scanning engine which enables  
continuous keypad monitoring up to 64 keys without  
any additional host interaction and further reduce the  
bus activity.  
400kHz I2C Compatible Slave Interface  
4 User-Selectable I²C Slave Addresses  
Power-On Reset and Reset Input (NRESET)  
Ultra Low Current Consumption of typ. 1uA  
-40°C to +85°C Operating Temperature Range  
2kV HBM ESD Protection  
The SX1507, SX1508 and SX1509 have the ability to  
generate mask-programmable interrupts based on  
falling/rising edge of any of its GPIO lines. A  
dedicated pin indicates to a host controller that a  
state change occurred in one or more of the lines.  
Each GPIO is programmable via 8-bit configuration  
registers such as data registers, direction registers,  
pull-up/pull-down registers, interrupt mask registers  
and interrupt registers. These I/O expanders come in  
small footprint packages and are rated from -40°C t o  
+85°C temperature range.

(1) Assuming no load connected to outputs and inputs fixed to VCC1,2 or GND.  
(2) Can be increased by tying together and driving simultaneously several I/Os.  
(3) All values referred to VIHMR min and VILM max levels.  
(4) A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal (referred to VIHMR min) to bridge the undefined region of  
the falling edge of SCL.  
(5) The maximum tHD;DAT has only to be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period (tLOW) of the SCL signal.  
(6) A Fast-mode I2C-bus device can be used in a Standard-mode I2C-bus system, but the requirement tSU;DAT 250 ns must then be met.  
This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal.  
If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line tr max+ tSU;DAT = 1000 + 250  
= 1250 ns (according to the Standard-mode I2C-bus specification) before the SCL line is released.  
(7) Cb = total capacitance of one bus line in pF. If mixed with Hs-mode devices, faster fall-times are allowed.  
(8) With RegHighInput bit enabled (VCCx min =1.65V), else 3.6V (VCCx min = 1.2V)

4.4.1 Hardware (NRESET)  
The SX1507, SX1508 and SX1509 generate their own power on reset signal after a power supply is connected  
to the VDDM pin. The reset signal is made available for the user at the pin NRESET. The rising edge of the  
NRESET indicates that the startup sequence of the SX1507, SX1508 or SX1509 has finished. NRESET must be  
connected to VDDM (or greater) either directly, or via a resistor.

1. Device behavior is undefined until VDDM rises above VPOR, at which point NRESET is driven to GND  
by the SX1507, SX1508 or SX1509.  
2. After tRESET, NRESET is released (high-impedance) by the SX1507, SX1508 or SX1509 to allow it to be  
pulled high by an external resistor.

3. In operation, the SX1507, SX1508 and SX1509 may be reset (POR like or LED driver counters only  
depending on RegMisc setting) at anytime by an external device driving NRESET low during tPULSE  
Chip can be accessed normally again after NRESET rising edge.  
.
4. During a brown-out event, if VDDM drops above VDROPH a reset will not occur.  
5. During a brown-out event, if VDDM drops between VDROPH and VDROPL a reset may occur.  
6. During a brown-out event, if VDDM drops below VDROPL a reset will occur next time VPOR is crossed.  
Please note that a brown-out event is defined as a transient event on VDDM. If VDDM is attached to a battery,  
then the gradual decay of the battery voltage will not be interpreted as a brown-out event.  
Please also note that a sharp rise in VDDM (> 1V/us) may induce a circuit reset.  
4.4.2 Software (RegReset)  
Writing consecutively 0x12 and 0x34 to RegReset register will reset all registers to their default values.

2-Wire Interface (I2C)  
The SX1507, SX1508 and SX1509 2-wire interface operates only in slave mode. In this configuration, the device

Table 7 - 2-Wire Interface Address  
2 lines are used to exchange data between an external master host and the slave device:  
SCL : Serial CLock  
SDA : Serial DAta  
The SX1507, SX1508 and SX1509 are read-write slave-mode I2C devices and comply with the Philips I2C  
standard Version 2.1 dated January, 2000. The SX1507, SX1508 and SX1509 have a few user-accessible  
internal 8-bits registers to set the various parameters of operation (Cf. §5 for detailed configuration registers  
description). The I2C interface has been designed for program flexibility, in that once the slave address has been  
sent to the SX1507, SX1508 or SX1509 enabling it to be a slave transmitter/receiver, any register can be written  
or read independently of each other. The start and stop commands frame the data-packet and the repeat start  
condition is allowed if necessary.  
Seven bit addressing is used and ten bit addressing is not allowed. Any general call address will be ignored by  
the SX1507, SX1508 and SX1509. The SX1507, SX1508 and SX1509 are not CBUS compatible and can  
operate in standard mode (100kbit/s) or fast mode (400kbit/s).  
4.5.1 WRITE  
After the start condition [S], the slave address (SA) is sent, followed by an eighth bit (‘0’) indicating a Write. The  
slave then Acknowledges [A] that it is being addressed, and the Master sends an 8 bit Data Byte consisting of  
the slave Register Address (RA). The Slave Acknowledges [A] and the master sends the appropriate 8 bit Data  
Byte (WD0). Again the slave Acknowledges [A]. In case the master needs to write more data, a succeeding 8 bit  
Data Byte will follow (WD1), acknowledged by the slave [A]. This sequence will be repeated until the master  
terminates the transfer with the Stop condition [P].

When successive register data (WD1...WDn) is supplied by the master, the register address can be  
automatically incremented or kept fixed depending on the setting programmed in RegMisc.

READ  
After the start condition [S], the slave address (SA) is sent, followed by an eighth bit (‘0’) indicating a Write. The  
slave then Acknowledges [A] that it is being addressed, and the Master responds with an 8 bit Data consisting of  
the Register Address (RA). The slave Acknowledges [A] and the master sends the Repeated Start Condition  
[Sr]. Once again, the slave address (SA) is sent, followed by an eighth bit (‘1’) indicating a Read.  
The slave responds with an Acknowledge [A] and the read Data byte (RD0). If the master needs to read more  
data it will acknowledge [A] and the slave will send the next read byte (RD1). This sequence can be repeated  
until the master terminates with a NACK [N] followed by a stop [P].  
Figure 10 - 2-Wire Serial Interface, Read Operation  
When successive register data (RD1...RDn) is read by the master, the register address will be automatically  
incremented or kept fixed depending on the setting programmed in RegMisc.  
4.6  
I/O Banks  
4.6.1 Input Debouncer  
Each input can be individually debounced by setting corresponding bits in RegDebounce register. At power up  
the debounce function is disabled. After enabling the debouncer, the change of the input value is accepted only if  
the input value is identical at two consecutive sampling times.

The debounce time common to all IOs can be set in RegDebounceConfig register from 0.5 to 64ms (fOSC =  
2MHz).  
4.6.2 Keypad Scanning Engine  
SX1508, and SX1509 integrate a fully programmable keypad scanning engine to implement keypad applications  
up to 8x8 matrix (i.e. 64 keys).  
Please note that SX1509 also implements an Auto Sleep/Wakeup feature to save power consumption when no  
key has been pressed for a programmed time.

Figure 11 – 4x4 Keypad Connection to SX1508  
Following procedure should be implemented on the host controller for a 4x4 keypad:  
1. Set RegDir to 0xF0 (IO[3-0] as outputs, IO[7-4] as inputs) , set RegOpenDrain to 0x0F (IO[3-0] as open-drain  
outputs), set RegPullup to 0xF0 (pull-ups enabled on inputs IO[7-4]).  
2. Enable and configure debouncing on IO[7-4] (RegDebounceEnable = 0xF0, Ex : RegDebounceConfig = 0x05)  
3. Enable and configure keypad scanning engine (Ex : RegKeyConfig = 0x7D) This will start an infinite loop with  
the following sequence to IO[3:0]: ZZZ0, ZZ0Z, Z0ZZ, 0ZZZ. Make sure that scan interval is set to higher value  
than the debounce time.  
4. When a key is pressed, NINT goes low, key scan is halted and the key coordinates are stored in RegKeyData:  
The column data will be stored in RegKeyData[7:4] (Note: column indication is active low)  
The row data will be stored in RegKeyData[3:0] (Note: row indication is active low)  
When RegKeyData is read, this data along with the interrupt is automatically cleared (same behavior  
as reading RegData) and the key scan continues to the next row.  
5. Restart from point 4.  
This implementation allows the host to handle both single and multi-touches easily (fast AAAAAA sequence is a  
long press of key A, fast ABABABAB sequence is key A and key B pressed together, etc)  
4.6.3 Level Shifter  
Because of their 5.5V tolerant I/O banks with independent supply voltages between 1.2V and 3.6V, the SX1508  
and SX1509 can perform level shifting of signals from one I/O bank to another without uC activity by  
programming the corresponding configuration register bits accordingly in RegLevelShifter (and RegDir).  
This can save significant BOM cost in a final application where only a few signals need to be level-shifted (no  
need for an additional external level shifter IC).

4.6.4 Polarity Inverter  
Each IO’s polarity can be individually inverted by setting corresponding bit in RegPolarity register. Please note  
that polarity inversion can also be combined with level shifting feature.  
4.7  
Interrupt (NINT)  
At start-up, the transition detection logic is reset, and NINT is released to a high-impedance state. The interrupt  
mask register is set to 0xFF, disabling the interrupt output for transitions on all I/O ports. The transition flags are  
cleared to indicate no data changes.  
An interrupt NINT can be generated on any programmed combination of I/Os rising and/or falling edges through  
the RegInterruptMask and RegSense registers.  
If needed, the I/Os which triggered the interrupt can then be identified by reading RegInterruptSource register.  
When NINT is low (i.e. interrupt occurred), it can be reset back high (i.e. cleared) by writing 0xFF in  
RegInterruptSource (this will also clear corresponding bits in RegEventStatus register).  
The interrupt can also be cleared automatically when reading RegData register (Cf. RegMisc)  
Example: We want to detect rising edge of I/O[1] on SX1508 (NINT will go low).  
1. We enable interrupt on I/O[1] in RegInterruptMask  
RegInterruptMask =“XXXXXX0X”  
2. We set edge sense for I/O[1] in RegSense  
RegSenseLow =“XXXX01XX”  
Please note that independently from the “user defined” process described above the keypad engine, when  
enabled, also uses NINT to indicate a key press.  
Hence we have NINT = “user defined condition occurred” OR “keypad engine condition occurred”.  
4.8  
Clock Management  
A main oscillator clock fOSC is needed by the LED driver, keypad engine and debounce features.

OSCOUT frequency setting (sub-multiple of fOSC)  
Please note that if needed the OSCOUT feature can be used as an additional GPO (Cf. RegClock)  
4.9 LED Driver  
4.9.1 Overview  
Every IO has its own independent LED driver to perform intensity control, blinking and fading operation. (Cf §6.2  
for typical LED connection)  
Please note that while all I/Os can perform intensity control (PWM) only some of them additionally include  
blinking and breathing features (Cf pin description §1)  
The LED drivers of all I/Os share the same clock ClkX configurable in RegMisc[6:4]. Please note that for power  
consumption reasons ClkX is OFF by default.

Assuming ClkX is not OFF, LED driver for IO[X] is enabled when RegLEDDriverEnable[X] = 1 in which case it  
can operate in one of the three modes below:  
Static mode (all I/Os, with or without fade in/out)  
Single shot mode (blinking capable I/Os only, with or without fade in/out)  
Blink mode (blinking capable I/Os only, with or without fade in/out)

Figure 15 – LED Driver Overview  
Each IO[X] has its own set of programmable registers (Cf §5 for more detailed information):  
RegTOnX (blinking capable I/Os only): TOnX, ON time of IO[X]  
RegIOnX (all I/Os): IOnX, ON intensity of IO[X]  
RegOffX (blinking capable I/Os only): TOffX and IOffX, OFF time and intensity of IO[X]  
RegTRiseX(breathing capable I/Os only): TRiseX, fade in time of IO[X]  
RegTFallX(breathing capable I/Os only): TFallX, fade out time of IO[X]  
Please note that the LED driver mode is selectable for each IO bank between linear and logarithmic. (Cf §4.9.5)  
All the figures assume normal IO polarity, for inverse polarity RegData control must be inverted (does not invert  
the polarity of the IO signal itself).  
4.9.2 Static Mode  
Only mode available for non blinking capable IOs (with Off intensity = 0), else invoked when TOnX = 0.  
If the I/O doesn’t support fading the LED intensity will step directly to the IOnX/IOffX value.

4.9.6 Synchronization of LED Drivers across several ICs  
When several GPIO expanders are used in the same application it may be useful that their LEDs drivers are  
synchronous for coherent global operation.  
In this case all ICs should share their fOSC through their OSCIO pins and have their NRESET pins connected  
together.  
When RegMisc of each IC is set accordingly, NRESET signal can then be used to reset all devices’ internal  
counters (but not the register settings) and allow synchronous LED operation (blinking, fading) across multiple  
devices.

Typical LED Connection  
Typical LED Connection is described below. The LED is usually connected to a high voltage (VBAT) to take  
advantage of the high sink current of the I/O and to accommodate high LED threshold voltages (VLED).  
Please note that in this configuration the IO must be programmed as open drain output (RegOpenDrain) with no  
pull-up (RegPullUp) and input buffer must be disabled (RegInputBufferDisable).  
VCCx can take any value without compromising LED operation.
