PCA9901 Datasheet One Wire Single LED Driver

Manufacturer: NXP Semiconductors

General Description

The PCA9901 is a 20 mA current source for a single LED that allows stand-alone blinking of a predefined pattern to off-load the microcontroller and save battery power.

Programming of the device is done through a training sequence: the host controller sends the LED lighting sequence and the PCA9901 memorizes it.

Once the sequence has been memorized, the PCA9901 can be programmed to send it once or in a loop until the host controller requests the sequence to be stopped.
