1. General description
The PCA9550 LED blinker blinks LEDs in I
2
C-bus and SMBus applications where it is
necessary to limit bus traffic or free up the I
2
C master's (MCU, MPU, DSP, chip set, etc.)
timer. The uniqueness of this device is the internal oscillator with two programmable blink
rates. To blink LEDs using normal I/O expanders like the PCF8574 or PCA9554, the bus
master must send repeated commands to turn the LED on and off. This greatly increases
the amount of traffic on the I
2
C-bus and uses up one of the master's timers. The PCA9550
LED blinker instead requires only the initial set-up command to program BLINK RATE 1
and BLINK RATE 2 (i.e., the frequency and duty cycle). From then on, only one command
from the bus master is required to turn each individual open-drain output ON, OFF, or to
cycle at BLINK RATE 1 or BLINK RATE 2. Maximum output sink current is 25 mA per bit
and 50 mA per package.
Any bits not used for controlling the LEDs can be used for General Purpose parallel
Input/Output (GPIO) expansion.
The active LOW hardware reset pin (RESET) and Power-On Reset (POR) initializes the
registers to their default state, all zeroes, causing the bits to be set HIGH (LED off).
One hardware address pin on the PCA9550 allows two devices to operate on the same
bus.
