with Interrupt Output, Reset Pin, and Configuration Registers
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TCA9539-Q1 is a 24-pin device that provides
16 bits of general purpose parallel input and output
(I/O) expansion for the two-line bidirectional I2C bus
(or SMBus protocol). The device can operate with a
power supply voltage (VCC) range from 1.65 V to 3.6
V. The device supports 100 kHz (I2C Standard mode)
and 400 kHz (I2C Fast mode) clock frequencies. I/O
expanders such as the TCA9539-Q1 provide a simple
solution when additional I/Os are needed for switches,
sensors, push-buttons, LEDs, fans, and other similar
devices.

The features of the TCA9539-Q1 include an interrupt
that is generated on the INT pin whenever an
input port changes state. The A0 and A1 hardware
selectable address pins allow up to four TCA9539-Q1
devices on the same I2C bus. The device can be reset
to its default state by cycling the power supply and
causing a power-on reset. Also, the TCA9539-Q1 has
a hardware RESET pin that can be used to reset the
device to its default state.
The TCA9539-Q1 I2C I/O expander is qualified for
automotive applications.

Operation outside the Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent device damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings do not imply
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those listed under Recommended Operating Conditions.
If used outside the Recommended Operating Conditions but within the Absolute Maximum Ratings, the device may not be fully
functional, and this may affect device reliability, functionality, performance, and shorten the device lifetime.
The input negative voltage and output voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output current ratings are observed.

All typical values are at nominal supply voltage (1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V, VCC) and TA = 25°C.
Each I/O must be externally limited to the maximum allowed IOL, and each octal (P07–P00 and P17–P10) must be limited to a
maximum current of 100 mA, for a device total of 200 mA at Tj ≤ 85°C. See the Section 6.3 table for more information.
The total current sourced by all I/Os must be limited to 160 mA (80 mA for P07–P00 and 80 mA for P17–P10) for Tj ≤ 85°C. See the
Section 6.3 table for more information.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TCA9539-Q1 is a 16-bit I/O expander for the two-line bidirectional bus (I2C) designed for 1.65 V to 3.6 V,
VCC operation. It provides general-purpose remote I/O expansion for most microcontroller families via the I2C
interface, serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA).
The TCA9539-Q1 consists of two 8-bit Configuration (input or output selection), Input Port, Output Port, and
Polarity Inversion (active-high or active-low operation) registers. At power-on, the I/Os are configured as inputs.
The system controller can enable the I/Os as either inputs or outputs by writing to the configuration register
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
controller.
The system controller can reset the TCA9539-Q1 in the event of a time-out 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. Asserting RESET causes the same reset-initialization to occur without depowering
the part.
The TCA9539-Q1 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 controller 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 TCA9539-Q1 can remain a simple target device.
The TCA9539-Q1 is similar to the TCA9555, except for the removal of the internal I/O pull-up resistor, which
greatly reduces power consumption when the I/Os are held low, replacement of A2 with RESET, and a different
address range. The TCA9539-Q1 is similar to the PCA9539 with lower voltage support (down to VCC = 1.65 V),
and also improved power-on reset circuitry for different application scenarios.
Two hardware pins (A0 and A1) are used to program and vary the fixed I2C address and allow up to four 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 must not exceed the recommended levels for proper operation.
8.3.2 RESET Input
A reset can be accomplished by holding the RESET pin low for a minimum of tW. The TCA9539-Q1 registers and
I2C-SMBus state machine are held in their default states until RESET is once again high. This input requires a
pull-up resistor to VCC, if no active connection is used.
8.3.3 Interrupt ( INT) Output
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 data is read from the port that generated the interrupt. Resetting occurs in the read mode at the

acknowledge (ACK) bit after the rising edge of the SCL signal. Note that the INT is reset at the ACK just before
the byte of changed data is sent. Interrupts that occur during the ACK clock pulse can be lost (or be very short)
because of 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. Because each 8-bit port is read
independently, the interrupt caused by port 0 is not cleared by a read of port 1, or vice versa.
INT has an open-drain structure and requires a 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 TCA9539-Q1 in a reset condition
until VCC has reached VPORR. At that point, the reset condition is released and the TCA9539-Q1 registers and
I2C-SMBus state machine initialize to their default states. After that, VCC must be lowered to VPORF and then
back up to the operating voltage for a power-reset cycle. See Figure 8-3.
8.5 Programming
8.5.1 I2C Interface
The TCA9539-Q1 has a standard bidirectional I2C interface that is controlled by a controller device in order
to be configured or read the status of this device. Each target on the I2C bus has a specific device address
to differentiate between other target devices that are on the same I2C bus. Many target devices require
configuration upon startup to set the behavior of the device. This is typically done when the controller accesses
internal register maps of the target, which have unique register addresses. A device can have one or multiple
registers where data is stored, written, or read. For more information see Understanding the I2C Bus, SLVA704.
The physical I2C interface consists of the serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA) lines. Both SDA and SCL lines
must be connected to VCC through a pull-up resistor. The size of the pull-up resistor is determined by the amount
of capacitance on the I2C lines. For further details, see I2C Pull-up Resistor Calculation, SLVA689. Data transfer
may be initiated only when the bus is idle. A bus is considered idle if both SDA and SCL lines are high after a
STOP condition. See Table 8-1.
Figure 8-3 and Figure 8-4 show the general procedure for a controller to access a target device:
1. If a controller wants to send data to a target:
• Controller-transmitter sends a START condition and addresses the target-receiver.
• Controller-transmitter sends data to target-receiver.
• Controller-transmitter terminates the transfer with a STOP condition.
2. If a controller wants to receive or read data from a target:
• Controller-receiver sends a START condition and addresses the target-transmitter.
• Controller-receiver sends the requested register to read to target-transmitter.
• Controller-receiver receives data from the target-transmitter.

The last bit of the target 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.
8.6.2 Control Register And Command Byte
Following the successful acknowledgment of the address byte, the bus controller sends a command byte shown
in Table 8-3 that is stored in the control register in the TCA9539-Q1. Three bits of this data byte state the
operation (read or write) and the internal register (input, output, Polarity Inversion or Configuration) that is
affected. This register can be written or read through the I2C bus. The command byte is sent only during a write
transmission.
When a command byte has been sent, the register pair that was addressed continues to be accessed by reads
until a new command byte has been sent. Figure 8-6 shows the control register bits.

8.6.3 Register Descriptions
The Input Port registers (registers 0 and 1) shown in Table 8-4 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. 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.

The Output Port registers (registers 2 and 3) shown in Table 8-5 show 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.

The Polarity Inversion registers (registers 4 and 5) shown in Table 8-6 allow 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's polarity is inverted. If a bit in this register is cleared (written with a 0), the corresponding port pin's original
polarity is retained.

The Configuration registers (registers 6 and 7) shown in Table 8-7 configure the directions of the I/O pins. If a bit
in this register is set to 1, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an input with a high-impedance output driver.
If a bit in this register is cleared to 0, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an output.

8.6.3.1 Bus Transactions
Data is exchanged between the controller and the TCA9539-Q1 through write and read commands, and this is
accomplished by reading from or writing to registers in the target device.

Registers are locations in the memory of the target which contain information, whether it be the configuration
information or some sampled data to send back to the controller. The controller must write information to these
registers in order to instruct the target device to perform a task.
8.6.3.1.1 Writes
To write on the I2C bus, the controller sends a START condition on the bus with the address of the target, as
well as the last bit (the R/ W bit) set to 0, which signifies a write. After the target sends the acknowledge bit, the
controller then sends the register address of the register to which it wishes to write. The target acknowledges
again, letting the controller know it is ready. After this, the controller starts sending the register data to the target
until the controller has sent all the data necessary (which is sometimes only a single byte), and the controller
terminates the transmission with a STOP condition.
See the Section 8.6.2 section to see list of the TCA9539-Q1s internal registers and a description of each one.

8.6.3.1.2 Reads
Reading from a target is very similar to writing, but requires some additional steps. In order to read from a target,
the controller must first instruct the target which register it wishes to read from. This is done by the controller
starting off the transmission in a similar fashion as the write, by sending the address with the R/ W bit equal to
0 (signifying a write), followed by the register address it wishes to read from. When the target acknowledges this
register address, the controller sends a START condition again, followed by the target address with the R/ W
bit set to 1 (signifying a read). This time, the target acknowledges the read request, and the controller releases
the SDA bus but continues supplying the clock to the target. During this part of the transaction, the controller
becomes the controller-receiver, and the target becomes the target-transmitter.
The controller continues to send out the clock pulses, but releases the SDA line so that the target can transmit
data. At the end of every byte of data, the controller sends an ACK to the target, letting the target know that it
is ready for more data. When the controller has received the number of bytes it is expecting, it sends a NACK,
signaling to the target to halt communications and release the bus. The controller follows this up with a STOP
condition.
If a read is requested by the controller after a POR without first setting the command byte via a write, the device
NACKs until a command byte-register address is set as described above.
See the Section 8.6.2 section to see list of the TCA9539-Q1s internal registers and a description of each one.

Figure 8-10. Read from Register
When a restart occurs after a single write request to a register, the requested register is used for the read
request. Note that when reading multiple bytes of data. Data is clocked into the register on the rising edge of the
ACK clock pulse before data is sent. The internal register value is also changed to the other register of the pair
on the rising edge of the ACK clock pulse before data is sent. After the first byte is read, additional bytes may be
read, but the data now reflect 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. If a restart occurs during a read, the data is lost because the internal register
already has been changed to the next register in the pair.
There is no limitation on the number of data bytes received in one read transmission, but when the final byte
is received, the bus controller must not acknowledge the data. Figure 8-11 and Figure 8-12 show two different
scenarios of Read Input Port Register.

9.2.1 Design Requirements
9.2.1.1 Calculating Junction Temperature and Power Dissipation
When designing with the TCA9539-Q1, it is important that the Section 6.3 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 Section 6.4
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 an I/O is used to control an LED, normally it is connected to VCC through a resistor (see Figure 9-1).
Because the LED acts as a diode, when the LED is off, the I/O VIN is about 1.2 V less than VCC. The ΔICC
parameter in the Section 6.5 table show how ICC increases as VIN becomes lower than VCC. For battery-powered
applications, it is essential that the voltage of I/O pins is greater than or equal to VCC, when the LED is off, to
minimize current consumption.
Figure 9-2 shows a high-value resistor in parallel with the LED. Figure 9-3 shows VCC less than the LED supply
voltage by at least 1.2 V. Both of these methods maintain the I/O VCC at or above VCC and prevent additional
supply-current consumption when the LED is off.
Take care to make sure that the recommended maximum IOL through the ports not be violated based upon
junction temperature. See the Section 6.3 for more information.

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 targets on the I2C bus. The minimum pull-up resistance is a function of
VCC, VOL,(max), and IOL as shown in Equation 5.
Rp(min) =
VCC - VOL(max)
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.
Rp(max) =
tr
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 TCA9539-Q1, Ci for
SCL or Cio for SDA, the capacitance of wires, connections, traces, and the capacitance of additional targets on
the bus.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
9.1 Power-On Reset Requirements
In the event of a glitch or data corruption, TCA9539-Q1 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 voltage waveform for a power-on reset is shown in Figure 9-1.

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 9-2 and Table 9-1 provide more
information on how to measure these specifications.

VPOR is critical to the power-on reset. VPOR R 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

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
For printed circuit board (PCB) layout of the TCA9539-Q1, 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 TCA9539-Q1 as possible. These best practices are shown in Figure
10-1.
For the layout example provided in Figure 10-1, it would be 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 must 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 10-1.
