PCA9551 Datasheet 8-bit I2c Led Driver

Manufacturer: NXP Semiconductors

Overview: PCA9551 8-bit I2C-bus LED driver with programmable blink rates Rev. 08 — 31 July 2008 Product data sheet 1.

General Description

The PCA9551 LED blinker blinks LEDs in I2C-bus and SMBus applications where it is necessary to limit bus traffic or free up the I2C-bus 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 mands to turn the LED on and off.
