3 Description
The TCA9554A is a 16-pin device that provides 8 bits
of general purpose parallel input-output (I/O)
expansion for the two-line bidirectional I2C bus (or
SMBus) protocol. The device can operate with a
power supply voltage ranging from 1.65 V to 5.5 V.
The device supports both 100-kHz (Standard-mode)
and 400-kHz (Fast-mode) clock frequencies. I/O
expanders such as the TCA9554A provide a simple
solution when additional I/Os are needed for
switches, sensors, push-buttons, LEDs, fans, and
other similar devices.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TCA9554A is an 8-bit I/O expander for the two-line bidirectional bus (I2C) is designed for 1.65-V to 5.5-V VCC
operation. It provides general-purpose remote I/O expansion for most micro-controller families via the I2C
interface (serial clock, SCL, and serial data, SDA, pins).
The TCA9554A open-drain interrupt (INT) output is activated when any input state differs from its corresponding
Input Port register state and is used to indicate to the system master that an input state has changed. The INT
pin can be connected to the interrupt input of a micro-controller. By sending an interrupt signal on this line, the
remote I/O can inform the micro-controller if there is incoming data on its ports without having to communicate
via the I2C bus. Thus, the TCA9554A can remain a simple slave device. The device outputs (latched) have highcurrent drive capability for directly driving LEDs.
Three hardware pins (A0, A1, and A2) are used to program and vary the fixed I2C slave address and allow up to
eight devices to share the same I2C bus or SMBus.
The system master can reset the TCA9554A in the event of a timeout or other improper operation by cycling the
power supply and causing a power-on reset (POR). A reset puts the registers in their default state and initializes
the I2C /SMBus state machine.
The TCA9554A consists of one 8-bit Configuration (input or output selection), Input Port, Output Port, and
Polarity Inversion (active high or active low) registers. At power on, the I/Os are configured as inputs. However,
the system master can enable the I/Os as either inputs or outputs by writing to the I/O configuration bits. The
data for each input or output is kept in the corresponding Input Port or Output Port register. The polarity of the
Input Port register can be inverted with the Polarity Inversion register. All registers can be read by the system
master.
The TCA9554A and TCA9554 are identical except for their fixed I2C address. This allows for up to 16 of these
devices (8 of each) on the same I2C/SMBus.
The TCA9554A is identical to the TCA9534A except for the addition of the internal I/O pull-up resistors, which
keeps P-ports from floating when configured as inputs.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 I/O Port
When an I/O is configured as an input, FETs Q1 and Q2 are off, creating a high-impedance input with a weak
pull-up (100 kΩ typical) to VCC. The input voltage may be raised above VCC to a maximum of 5.5 V, however it
must be noted that because of the integrated 100 kΩ pull-up resistor it may result in current flow from I/O to VCC
pin (Figure 15).
If the I/O is configured as an output, Q1 or Q2 is enabled depending on the state of the output port register. In
this case, there are low impedance paths between the I/O pin and either VCC or GND. The external voltage
applied to this I/O pin must not exceed the recommended levels for proper operation.
8.3.2 Interrupt Output (INT)
An interrupt is generated by any rising or falling edge of any P-port I/O configured as an input. After time tiv, the
signal INT is valid. Resetting the interrupt circuit is achieved when data on the ports is changed back to the
original state or when data is read from the Input Port register. Resetting occurs in the read mode at the
acknowledge (ACK) bit after the rising edge of the SCL signal. Interrupts that occur during the ACK clock pulse
can be lost (or be very short) due to the resetting of the interrupt during this pulse. Each change of the I/Os after
resetting is detected and is transmitted as an interrupt on the INT pin.
Reading from or writing to another device does not affect the interrupt circuit, and a pin configured as an output
cannot cause an interrupt. Changing an I/O from an output to an input may cause a false interrupt to occur if the
state of the pin does not match the contents of the Input Port register.

Feature Description (continued)
The INT output has an open-drain structure and requires pull-up resistor to VCC.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Power-On Reset
When power (from 0 V) is applied to VCC, an internal power-on reset holds the TCA9554A in a reset condition
until VCC has reached VPORR. At that point, the reset condition is released and the TCA9554A registers and
SMBus/I2C state machine initializes to their default states. After that, VCC must be lowered to below VPORF and
then back up to the operating voltage for a power-on reset cycle.
8.5 Programming
8.5.1 I2C Interface
The bidirectional I2C bus consists of the serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA) lines. Both lines must be
connected to a positive supply through a pull-up resistor when connected to the output stages of a device. Data
transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
I2C communication with this device is initiated by a master sending a Start condition, a high-to-low transition on
the SDA input/output while the SCL input is high (see Figure 16). After the Start condition, the device address
byte is sent, most significant bit (MSB) first, including the data direction bit (R/W).
After receiving the valid address byte, this device responds with an acknowledge (ACK), a low on the SDA inputoutput during the high of the ACK-related clock pulse. The address inputs (A0–A2) of the slave device must not
be changed between the Start and the Stop conditions.
On the I2C bus, only one data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the high pulse of the clock period, as changes in the data line at this time are interpreted as control
commands (Start or Stop) (see Figure 17).
A Stop condition, a low-to-high transition on the SDA input-output while the SCL input is high, is sent by the
master (see Figure 16).
Any number of data bytes can be transferred from the transmitter to receiver between the Start and the Stop
conditions. Each byte of eight bits is followed by one ACK bit. The transmitter must release the SDA line before
the receiver can send an ACK bit. The device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA line during the ACK
clock pulse so that the SDA line is stable low during the high pulse of the ACK-related clock period (see
Figure 18). When a slave receiver is addressed, it must generate an ACK after each byte is received. Similarly,
the master must generate an ACK after each byte that it receives from the slave transmitter. Setup and hold
times must be met to ensure proper operation.
A master receiver signals an end of data to the slave transmitter by not generating an acknowledge (NACK) after
the last byte has been clocked out of the slave. This is done by the master receiver by holding the SDA line high.
In this event, the transmitter must release the data line to enable the master to generate a Stop condition.

The last bit of the slave address defines the operation (read or write) to be performed. When it is high (1), a read
is selected, while a low (0) selects a write operation.
8.6.2 Control Register and Command Byte
Following the successful Acknowledgment of the address byte, the bus master sends a command byte that is
stored in the control register in the TCA9554A (see Figure 20). Two bits of this command byte state the operation
(read or write) and the internal register (input, output, polarity inversion or configuration) that are affected. This
register can be written or read through the I2C bus. The command byte is sent only during a write transmission.
Once a command byte has been sent, the register that was addressed continues to be accessed by reads until a
new command byte has been sent. Figure 20 shows the TCA9554A control register bits and Table 3 shows the
command byte.

8.6.3 Register Descriptions
The Input Port register (register 0) reflects the incoming logic levels of the pins, regardless of whether the pin is
defined as an input or an output by the Configuration register. It only acts on read operation. Writes to these
registers have no effect. The default value, X, is determined by the externally applied logic level.
Before a read operation, a write transmission is sent with the command byte to indicate to the I2C device that the
Input Port register is accessed next. See Table 4.

The Output Port register (register 1) shows the outgoing logic levels of the pins defined as outputs by the
Configuration register. Bit values in this register have no effect on pins defined as inputs. In turn, reads from this
register reflect the value that is in the flip-flop controlling the output selection, not the actual pin value. See
Table 5.

The Polarity Inversion register (register 2) allows polarity inversion of pins defined as inputs by the Configuration
register. If a bit in this register is set (written with 1), the corresponding port pin polarity is inverted. If a bit in this
register is cleared (written with a 0), the corresponding port pin original polarity is retained. See Table 6.

8.6.3.1 Bus Transactions
Data is exchanged between the master and the TCA9554A through write and read commands.
8.6.3.1.1 Writes
To write on the I2C bus, the master sends a START condition on the bus with the address of the slave, as well
as the last bit (the R/W bit) set to 0, which signifies a write. After the slave sends the acknowledge bit, the master
then sends the register address of the register to which it wishes to write. The slave acknowledges again, letting
the master know it is ready. After this, the master starts sending the register data to the slave until the master
has sent all the data necessary (which is sometimes only a single byte), and the master terminates the
transmission with a STOP condition. Note that the command byte/register address does NOT automatically
increment. Writing multiple bytes during a write results in the last byte sent being stored in the register.
See the Register Descriptions section to see list of the TCA9554A's internal registers and a description of each
one.

8.6.3.1.2 Reads
The bus master first must send the TCA9554A address with the LSB set to a logic 0 (see Figure 19 for device
address). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which register is accessed. After a restart,
the device address is sent again but, this time, the LSB is set to a logic 1. Data from the register defined by the
command byte then is sent by the TCA9554A (see Figure 25). The command byte does not increment
automatically. If multiple bytes are read, data from the specified command byte/register is going to be
continuously read.
See the Register Descriptions section for the list of the TCA9554A's internal registers and a description of each
one.

After a restart, the value of the register defined by the command byte matches the register being accessed when
the restart occurred. Data is clocked into the register on the rising edge of the ACK clock pulse. After the first
byte, additional bytes may be read, but the same register specified by the command byte is read.
Data is clocked into the register on the rising edge of the ACK clock pulse. There is no limitation on the number
of data bytes received in one read transmission, but when the final byte is received, the bus master must not
acknowledge the data.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
Applications of the TCA9554A has this device connected as a slave to an I2C master (processor), and the I2C
bus may contain any number of other slave devices. The TCA9554A is typically in a remote location from the
master, placed close to the GPIOs to which the master must monitor or control. IO Expanders such as the
TCA9554A are typically used for controlling LEDs (for feedback or status lights), controlling enable or reset
signals of other devices, and even reading the outputs of other devices or buttons.

Typical Application (continued)
9.2.1 Design Requirements
9.2.1.1 Calculating Junction Temperature and Power Dissipation
When designing with this device, it is important that the Recommended Operating Conditions not be violated.
Many of the parameters of this device are rated based on junction temperature. So junction temperature must be
calculated in order to verify that safe operation of the device is met. The basic equation for junction temperature
is shown in Equation 1.
Tj = TA + (qJA ´ Pd )
(1)
θJA is the standard junction to ambient thermal resistance measurement of the package, as seen in Thermal
Information table. Pd is the total power dissipation of the device, and the approximation is shown in Equation 2.
(
Pd » ICC _ STATIC ´ VCC
) + å Pd _ PORT _ L + å Pd _ PORT _ H
(2)
Equation 2 is the approximation of power dissipation in the device. The equation is the static power plus the
summation of power dissipated by each port (with a different equation based on if the port is outputting high, or
outputting low. If the port is set as an input, then power dissipation is the input leakage of the pin multiplied by
the voltage on the pin). Note that this ignores power dissipation in the INT and SDA pins, assuming these
transients to be small. They can easily be included in the power dissipation calculation by using Equation 3 to
calculate the power dissipation in INT or SDA while they are pulling low, and this gives maximum power
dissipation.
Pd _ PORT _ L = (IOL ´ VOL )
(3)
Equation 3 shows the power dissipation for a single port which is set to output low. The power dissipated by the
port is the VOL of the port multiplied by the current it is sinking.
(
)
Pd _ PORT _H = IOH ´ (VCC - VOH )
(4)
Equation 4 shows the power dissipation for a single port which is set to output high. The power dissipated by the
port is the current sourced by the port multiplied by the voltage drop across the device (difference between VCC
and the output voltage).
9.2.1.2 Minimizing ICC When I/Os Control LEDs
When the I/Os are used to control LEDs, normally they are connected to VCC through a resistor as shown in
Figure 26. For a P-port configured as an input, ICC increases as VI becomes lower than VCC. The LED is a diode,
with threshold voltage VT, and when a P-port is configured as an input the LED is off but VI is a VT drop below
VCC.
For battery-powered applications, it is essential that the voltage of P-ports controlling LEDs is greater than or
equal to VCC when the P-ports are configured as input to minimize current consumption. Figure 27 shows a highvalue resistor in parallel with the LED. Figure 28 shows VCC less than the LED supply voltage by at least VT.
Both of these methods maintain the I/O VI at or above VCC and prevents additional supply current consumption
when the P-port is configured as an input and the LED is off.
The TCA9554A has an integrated 100-kΩ pull-up resistor, so there is no need for an external pull-up.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The pull-up resistors, RP, for the SCL and SDA lines need to be selected appropriately and take into
consideration the total capacitance of all slaves on the I2C bus. The minimum pull-up resistance is a function of
VCC, VOL,(max), and IOL as shown in Equation 5.
VCC - VOL(max)
Rp(min) =
IOL
(5)
The maximum pull-up resistance is a function of the maximum rise time, tr (300 ns for fast-mode operation,
fSCL = 400 kHz) and bus capacitance, Cb as shown in Equation 6.
tr
Rp(max) =
0.8473 ´ Cb
(6)
The maximum bus capacitance for an I2C bus must not exceed 400 pF for standard-mode or fast-mode
operation. The bus capacitance can be approximated by adding the capacitance of the TCA9554A, Ci for SCL or
Cio for SDA, the capacitance of wires, connections, traces, and the capacitance of additional slaves on the bus.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
10.1 Power-On Reset Requirements
In the event of a glitch or data corruption, the TCA9554A can be reset to its default conditions by using the
power-on reset feature. Power-on reset requires that the device go through a power cycle to be completely reset.
This reset also happens when the device is powered on for the first time in an application.
The power-on reset is shown in Figure 31.

Glitches in the power supply can also affect the power-on reset performance of this device. The glitch width
(VCC_GW) and height (VCC_GH) are dependent on each other. The bypass capacitance, source impedance, and
device impedance are factors that affect power-on reset performance. Figure 32 and Table 8 provide more
information on how to measure these specifications.

VPORR is critical to the power-on reset. VPORR is the voltage level at which the reset condition is released and all
the registers and the I2C/SMBus state machine are initialized to their default states. The value of power-on-reset
voltage differs based on the VCC being lowered to or from 0 (VPORR or VPORF). Figure 33 and Table 8 provide
more details on this specification.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
For printed circuit board (PCB) layout of the TCA9554A, common PCB layout practices must be followed but
additional concerns related to high-speed data transfer such as matched impedances and differential pairs are
not a concern for I2C signal speeds.
In all PCB layouts, it is a best practice to avoid right angles in signal traces, to fan out signal traces away from
each other upon leaving the vicinity of an integrated circuit (IC), and to use thicker trace widths to carry higher
amounts of current that commonly pass through power and ground traces. By-pass and de-coupling capacitors
are commonly used to control the voltage on the VCC pin, using a larger capacitor to provide additional power in
the event of a short power supply glitch and a smaller capacitor to filter out high-frequency ripple. These
capacitors must be placed as close to the TCA9554A as possible. These best practices are shown in Figure 34.
For the layout example provided in Figure 34, it is possible to fabricate a PCB with only 2 layers by using the top
layer for signal routing and the bottom layer as a split plane for power (VCC) and ground (GND). However, a 4
layer board is preferable for boards with higher density signal routing. On a 4 layer PCB, it is common to route
signals on the top and bottom layer, dedicate one internal layer to a ground plane, and dedicate the other internal
layer to a power plane. In a board layout using planes or split planes for power and ground, vias are placed
directly next to the surface mount component pad which needs to attach to VCC or GND and the via is connected
electrically to the internal layer or the other side of the board. Vias are also used when a signal trace needs to be
routed to the opposite side of the board, but this technique is not demonstrated in Figure 34.
