PCA9532 - 16-bit I2C LED dimmer

Description

The PCA9532 is a 16-bit I2C-bus 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 PCA9532 contains an internal oscillator with two user programmable blink rates and duty cycles coupled to the output PWM.

Features

  • 16 LED drivers (on, off, flashing at a programmable rate).
  • 2 selectable, fully programmable blink rates (frequency and duty cycle) between 0.625 and 160 Hz (6.4 seconds and 6.25 milliseconds).
  • 256 brightness steps.
  • Input/outputs not used as LED drivers can be used as regular GPIOs.
  • Internal oscillator requires no external components.
  • I2C-bus interface logic compatible with SMBus.
  • Internal power-on reset.
  • Noise filter on.

INTEGRATED CIRCUITS PCA9532 16-bit I2C LED dimmer Product data Supersedes data of 2003 Feb 26 2003 May 02 Philips Semiconductors Philips Semiconductors Product data 16-bit I2C LED dimmer PCA9532 DESCRIPTION The PCA9532 is a 16-bit I2C-bus 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 PCA9532 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.
