DESCRIPTION
The PCA9554 and PCA9554A are 16-pin CMOS devices that
provide 8 bits of General Purpose parallel Input/Output (GPIO)
expansion for I2C/SMBus applications and were developed to
enhance the Philips family of I@C I/O expanders. The improvements
include higher drive capability, 5V I/O tolerance, lower supply
current, individual I/O configuration, 400 kHz clock frequency, and
smaller packaging. I/O expanders provide a simple solution when
additional I/O is needed for ACPI power switches, sensors,
pushbuttons, LEDs, fans, etc..
The PCA9554/54A consist of an 8-bit Configuration register (Input or
Output selection); 8-bit Input register, 8-bit Output register and an
8-bit Polarity inversion register (Active high or Active low operation).
The system master can enable the I/Os as either inputs or outputs
by writing to the I/O configuration bits. The data for each Input or
Output is kept in the corresponding Input or Output register. The
polarity of the read register can be inverted with the Polarity
Inversion Register. All registers can be read by the system master .
Although pin to pin and I2C address compatible with the PCF8574
series, software changes are required due to the enhancements and
are discussed in Application Note AN469.
The PCA9554/54A open-drain interrupt output is activated when any
input state differs from its corresponding input port register state and
is used to indicate to the system master that an input state has
changed. The power-on reset sets the registers to their default
values and initializes the device state machine.
Three hardware pins (A0, A1, A2) vary the fixed I2C address and
allow up to eight devices to share the same I2C/SMBus. The
PCA9554A is identical to the PCA9554 except that the fixed I2C
address is different allowing up to sixteen of these devices (eight of
each) on the same I2C/SMBus.

REGISTERS
Command Byte
Command Protocol Function
0Read byte Input port register
1Read/write byte Output port register
2Read/write byte Polarity inversion register
3Read/write byte Configuration register
The command byte is the first byte to follow the address byte during
a write transmission. It is used as a pointer to determine which of the
following registers will be written or read.
Register 0 – Input Port Register
bit I7 I6 I5 I4 I3 I2 I1 I0
default 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
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 Register 3. Writes to this register have no effect.
Register 1 – Output Port Register
bit O7 O6 O5 O4 O3 O2 O1 O0
default 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
This register reflects the outgoing logic levels of the pins defined as
outputs by Register 3. Bit values in this register have no effect on
pins defined as inputs. Reads from this register return the value that
is in the flip-flop controlling the output selection, NOT the actual pin
value.
Register 2 – Polarity Inversion Register
bit N7 N6 N5 N4 N3 N2 N1 N0
default 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
This register allows the user to invert the polarity of the Input Port
Register data. If a bit in this register is set (written with ‘1’), the
corresponding Input Port data is inverted. If a bit in this register is
cleared (written with a ‘0’), the Input Port data polarity is retained.
Register 3 – Configuration Register
bit C7 C6 C5 C4 C3 C2 C1 C0
default 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
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. At reset, the I/Os are
configured as inputs with a weak pull-up to VDD.
Power-on Reset
When power is applied to VDD, an internal power-on reset holds the
PCA9554 in a reset state until VDD has reached VPOR. At that point,
the reset condition is released and the PCA9554 registers and state
machine will initialize to their default states.
Interrupt Output
The open-drain interrupt output is activated when one of the port
pins change state and the pin is configured as an input. The
interrupt is deactivated when the input returns to its previous state or
the input port register is read.
Note that changing an I/O from an output to an input may cause a
false interrupt to occur if the state of the pin does not match the
contents of the input port register.

Figure 4. Simplified schematic of I/O0 to I/O7
I/O port
When an I/O is configured as an input, FETs Q1 and Q2 are off,
creating a high impedance input with a weak pull-up (100 k typ.) to
VDD. The input voltage may be raised above VDD to a maximum of
5.5 V.
If the I/O is configured as an output, then either Q1 or Q2 is enabled,
depending on the state of the output port register. Care should be
exercised if an external voltage is applied to an I/O configured as an
output because of the low impedance paths that exist between the
pin and either VDD or VSS.

Data is transmitted to the PCA9554/PCA9554A registers using the write mode as shown in Figures 7 and 8. Data is read from the
PCA9554/PCA9554A registers using the read mode as shown in Figures 9 and 10. These devices do not implement an auto-increment function
so once a command byte has been sent, the register which was addressed will continue to be accessed by reads until a new command byte
has been sent.
