PCA9621
65 mA 8-bit 2-wire bus output port
7. Functional description
Refer to Figure 1 “Block diagram of PCA9621.
7.1 V
DD
, V
SS
— DC supply pins
The power supply voltage for the PCA9621 may be any voltage in the range 2.7 V to
5.5 V. All other I/Os are clamped to V
DD
and V
SS
through ESD protection diodes.
7.2 SCL, SDA — 2-wire bus interface
The state of the output ports is determined by the Control register, which is set and read
via a 2-wire bus interface using I
2
C-bus style signalling. The interface is Fast-mode Plus
(Fm+) I
2
C-bus compatible, though the ports contain ESD protection diodes to the positive
and negative supplies. Consequently, V
I2C-bus
(voltage at SCL and SDA) must remain
within the V
DD
and V
SS
supply levels.
7.3 P0 to P7 — output ports
There are eight open-drain output ports whose state is determined by the Control register.
Programming a ‘1’ or HIGH to the relevant register bit will turn on the corresponding port,
resulting at a LOW or ‘0’ at the port. In the case of LED driving, this would result in the
LED turning ON.
Programming a ‘0’ or LOW in the register turns off the open-drain port, placing it in a
high-impedance mode.
The ports are protected by ESD diodes to the supplies so they must not be driven above
the V
DD
or below the V
SS
levels.
7.4 RESET — reset IC to default state
The active LOW RESET input is used to disable the buffer and reset it to its default state.
The RESET
signal will clear the contents of the Control register, turning off all output
ports, and resetting the state of the I
2
C-bus slave transceiver block.
7.5 Power-On Reset (POR)
During power-on, the PCA9621 is internally held in the reset condition for a maximum of
t
rst
= 500 ns. The default condition after reset is for the Control register to be erased
(all zeros), resulting in all output ports being off (high-impedance).

7.6 A0, A1, A2 — address lines
The slave address of the PCA9621 is shown in Figure 4. The address pins (A2, A1, A0)
must be driven to a HIGH or LOW level—they are not internally pulled to a default state.
The read/write bit must be set LOW to enable a write to the Control register, or HIGH to
read from the Control register.
7.7 Control register
The Control register of the PCA9621 is shown in Figure 5. Each of the four output ports
can be activated independently by setting the appropriate bit in the Control register.
A LOW or ‘zero’ bit indicates that the respective channel (P7 to P0) is disabled
(high-impedance). The default reset condition of the register is all zeros, all ports
high-impedance. A HIGH or ‘one’ bit indicates the respective channel is active (sinking).
Example: Programming C1h (1100 0001b) into the Control register results in ports P0, P6
and P7 being ON (sinking) and the remaining ports being OFF (high-impedance).

8. Bus transaction
A typical I

C-bus write transaction to the PCA9621 is shown in Figure 6. During a write
transaction, the output ports (P0 to P7) of the PCA9621 are updated upon receipt of the
STOP condition.
A typical read transaction is shown in Figure 7.
9. Limiting values
[1] Voltages are specified with respect to pin 8 (V

).
[2] 100 mA for one pin only in the group P0 to P3, and one pin only in the group P4 to P7. Otherwise 70 mA maximum, any pin.
