DESCRIPTION

The PCA9533 is a 4-bit I2C and SMBus I/O expander optimized for dimming LEDs in 256 discrete steps for Red/Green/Blue (RGB) color mixing and back light applications.

The PCA9533 contains an internal oscillator with two user programmable blink rates and duty cycles coupled to the output PWM. The LED brightness is controlled by setting the blink rate high enough (> 100 Hz) that the blinking cannot be seen and then using the duty cycle to vary the amount of time the LED is on and thus the average current through the LED.

The initial setup sequence programs the two blink rates/duty cycles for each individual PWM. From then on, only one command from the bus master is required to turn individual LEDs ON, OFF, BLINK RATE 1 or BLINK RATE 2. Based on the programmed frequency and duty cycle, BLINK RATE 1 and BLINK RATE 2 will cause the LEDs to appear at a different brightness or blink at periods up to 1.69 second. The open drain outputs directly drive the LEDs with maximum output sink current of 25mA per bit and 100mA per package.

To blink LEDs at periods greater than 1.69 second the bus master (MCU, MPU, DSP, chipset, etc.) must send repeated commands to turn the LED on and off as is currently done when using normal I/O Expanders like the Philips PCF8574 or PCA9554. Any bits not used for controlling the LEDs can be used for General Purpose Parallel Input/Output (GPIO) expansion which provides a simple solution when additional I/O is needed for ACPI power switches, sensors, pushbuttons, alarm monitoring, fans, etc.

Power-On Reset (POR) initializes the registers to their default state causing the bits to be set HIGH (LED off).

Due to pin limitations, the PCA9533 is not featured with hardware address pins. The PCA9533/01 and the PCA9533/02 have different fixed I2C addresses allowing operation of both on the same bus

• 4 LED drivers (on, off, flashing at a programmable rate)
• 2 selectable, fully programmable blink rates (frequency and duty cycle) between 0.591 Hz and 152 Hz (1.69 seconds and 6.58 milliseconds)
• 256 brightness steps
• Internal oscillator requires no external components
• I2C interface logic compatible with SMBus
• 4 open drain outputs directly drive LEDs to 25 mA
• Operating power supply voltage range of 2.3V to 5.5V
• Operating Temperature - -40°C to +85°C

Combined Postage

I will combine postage where several different items are purchased at the same time.

If you purchase more than one product please add it to your basket (if possible) and then request a total for your combined purchases. (I believe this only works on ebay.co.uk desktop website and not on mobile devices or some other country websites). I will then send you a total with just the one postage charge. If you cannot follow this process then I will refund the excess postage when I process the order.

In most cases you can order as many of a single item as you want for the same postage as buying one, and combine other items within this single charge. For some heavier items such as transformers, there may be an additional postage charge for the second and subsequent items. Please feel free to contact us if you have any queries

International Postage

We are usually happy to ship items throughout Europe and N America.

Orders placed by 1pm Mon - Fri will usually be shipped the same day but this is not guaranteed.
