The major benefit of this device is its wide VCC range.
It can operate from 1.65 V to 5.5 V on the P-port side
and on the SDA/SCL side. This allows the TCA6424A
to interface with next-generation microprocessors and
microcontrollers on the SDA/SCL side, where supply
levels are dropping down to conserve power. In
contrast to the dropping power supplies of
microprocessors and microcontrollers, some PCB
components, such as LEDs, remain at a 5-V power
supply.

SCPS193C – JULY 2010 – REVISED APRIL 2014
4 Description (continued)
The bidirectional voltage level translation in the TCA6424A is provided through VCCI. VCCI should be connected to
the VCC of the external SCL/SDA lines. This indicates the VCC level of the I2C bus to the TCA6424A. The voltage
level on the P-port of the TCA6424A is determined by the VCCP.
The TCA6424A consists of three 8-bit Configuration (input or output selection), Input, Output, and Polarity
Inversion (active high) 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 or output 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 system master can reset the TCA6424A in the event of a timeout or other improper operation by asserting a
low in the RESET input. The power-on reset puts the registers in their default state and initializes the I2C/SMBus
state machine. The RESET pin causes the same reset/initialization to occur without depowering the part.
The TCA6424A 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.
INT can be connected to the interrupt input of a microcontroller. By sending an interrupt signal on this line, the
remote I/O can inform the microcontroller if there is incoming data on its ports without having to communicate via
the I2C bus. Thus, the TCA6424A can remain a simple slave device.
The device P-port outputs have high-current sink capabilities for directly driving LEDs while consuming low
device current.
One hardware pin (ADDR) can be used to program and vary the fixed I2C address and allow up to two devices to
share the same I2C bus or SMBus.

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, which creates a high-impedance input. The
input voltage may be raised above VCC to a maximum of 5.5 V.
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 should not exceed the recommended levels for proper operation.
8.3.2 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 pullup 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 20). 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
input/output during the high of the ACK-related clock pulse. The address (ADDR) input 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 21).
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 20).
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 22). 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. A high (1) selects a read
operation, while a low (0) selects a write operation.
8.4 Programming
8.4.1 Power-On Reset
When power (from 0 V) is applied to VCCP, an internal power-on reset holds the TCA6424A in a reset condition
until VCCP has reached VPOR. At that time, the reset condition is released, and the TCA6424A registers and
I2C/SMBus state machine initializes to their default states. After that, VCCP must be lowered to below 0.2 V and
back up to the operating voltage for a power-reset cycle.
8.4.2 Reset Input (RESET)
The RESET input can be asserted to initialize the system while keeping the VCCP at its operating level. A reset
can be accomplished by holding the RESET pin low for a minimum of tW. The TCA6424A registers and
I2C/SMBus state machine are changed to their default state once RESET is low (0). When RESET is high (1),
the I/O levels at the P port can be changed externally or through the master. This input requires a pullup resistor
to VCCI, if no active connection is used.
8.4.3 Interrupt Output (INT)
An interrupt is generated by any rising or falling edge of the port inputs in the input mode. After time tiv, the signal
INT is valid. Resetting the interrupt circuit is achieved when data on the port is changed to the original setting or
when data is read from the port that generated the interrupt. Resetting occurs in the read mode at the
acknowledge (ACK) or not acknowledge (NACK) bit after the rising edge of the SCL signal. Interrupts that occur
during the ACK or NACK 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 INT.
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.

TCA6424A
SCPS193C – JULY 2010 – REVISED APRIL 2014
www.ti.com
Programming (continued)
The INT output has an open-drain structure and requires pullup resistor to VCCP or VCCI depending on the
application. If the INT signal is connected back to the processor that provides the SCL signal to the TCA6424A
then the INT pin has to be connected to VCCI. If not, the INT pin can be connected to VCCP.
8.4.4 Bus Transactions
Data is exchanged between the master and TCA6424A through write and read commands.
8.4.4.1 Writes
Data is transmitted to the TCA6424A by sending the device address and setting the least-significant bit (LSB) to
a logic 0 (see Figure 23 for device address). The command byte is sent after the address and determines which
register receives the data that follows the command byte. There is no limitation on the number of data bytes sent
in one write transmission.
The twelve registers within the TCA6424A are grouped into four different sets. The four sets of registers are input
ports, output ports, polarity inversion ports and configuration ports. After sending data to one register, the next
data byte is sent to the next register in the group of 3 registers (see Figure 24 and Figure 25). For example, if the
first byte is send to Output Port 2 (register 6), the next byte is stored in Output Port 0 (register 4).
There is no limitation on the number of data bytes sent in one write transmission. In this way, each 8-bit register
may be updated independently of the other registers.

8.4.4.2 Reads
The bus master first must send the TCA6424A address with the LSB set to a logic 0 (see Figure 23 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 TCA6424A (see Figure 26 and Figure 27).

Programming (continued)
After a restart, the value of the register defined by the command byte matches the register being accessed when
the restart occurred. For example, if the command byte references Input Port 1 before the restart, and the restart
occurs when Input Port 0 is being read, the stored command byte changes to reference Input Port 0. The original
command byte is forgotten. If a subsequent restart occurs, Input Port 0 is read first. Data is clocked into the
register on the rising edge of the ACK clock pulse. After the first byte is read, additional bytes may be read, but
the data now reflects the information in the other register in the pair. For example, if Input Port 1 is read, the next
byte read is Input Port 0.
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.

8.5 Register Maps
8.5.1 Control Register and Command Byte
Following the successful acknowledgment of the address byte, the bus master sends a command byte, which is
stored in the control register in the TCA6424A. Four bits of this data byte state the operation (read or write) and
the internal registers (input, output, polarity inversion, or configuration) that will be affected. The control register
can be written or read through the I2C bus. The command byte is sent only during a write transmission.
The control register includes an Auto-Increment (AI) bit which is the most significant bit (bit 7) of the command
byte. At power-up, the control register defaults to 00 (hex), with the AI bit set to logic 1, and the lowest 7 bits set
to logic 0.
If AI is 1, the 2 least significant bits are automatically incremented after a read or write. This allows the user to
program and/or read the 3 register banks sequentially. If more than 3 bytes of data are written when AI is 1,
previous data in the selected registers will be overwritten. Reserved registers are skipped and not accessed
(refer to Table 5).
If AI is 0, the 2 least significant bits are not incremented after data is read or written. During a read operation, the
same register bank is read each time. During a write operation, data is written to the same register bank each
time.
Reserved command codes and command byte outside the range stated in the Command Byte table must not be
accessed for proper device functionality.

8.5.2 Register Descriptions
The Input Port registers (registers 0, 1 and 2) reflect the incoming logic levels of the pins, regardless of whether
the pin is defined as an input or an output by the Configuration register. They act only 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 will be accessed next.

The Output Port registers (registers 4, 5 and 6) shows the outgoing logic levels of the pins defined as outputs by
the Configuration register. Bit values in these registers have no effect on pins defined as inputs. In turn, reads
from these registers reflect the value that is in the flip-flop controlling the output selection, NOT the actual pin
value.

The Polarity Inversion registers (registers 8, 9 and 10) allow polarity inversion of pins defined as inputs by the
Configuration register. If a bit in these registers is set (written with 1), the corresponding port pin's polarity is
inverted. If a bit in these registers is cleared (written with a 0), the corresponding port pin's original polarity is
retained.

The Configuration registers (registers 12, 13 and 14) configure the direction of the I/O pins. If a bit in these
registers is set to 1, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an input with a high-impedance output driver. If a
bit in these registers is cleared to 0, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an output.

Typical Application (continued)
9.1.1 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 29. The LED acts as a diode so, when the LED is off, the I/O VIN is about 1.2 V less than VCC. The ΔICC
parameter in Electrical Characteristics shows how ICC increases as VIN becomes lower than VCC. Designs that
must minimize current consumption, such as battery power applications, should consider maintaining the I/O pins
greater than or equal to VCC when the LED is off.
Figure 30 shows a high-value resistor in parallel with the LED. Figure 31 shows VCC less than the LED supply
voltage by at least 1.2 V. Both of these methods maintain the I/O VIN at or above VCC and prevent additional
supply current consumption when the LED is off.

10 Power Supply Recommendation
In the event of a glitch or data corruption, TCA6424A 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 two types of power-on reset are shown in Figure 32 and Figure 33.

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 34 and Table 9 provide more
information on how to measure these specifications.

VPOR is critical to the power-on reset. VPOR 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 VPOR differs based
on the VCC being lowered to or from 0. Figure 35 and Table 9 provide more details on this specification.
