PCA9624 2 8-bit Fm+ I C-bus 100 mA 40 V LED driver Rev. 4.1 18 January 2016 Product data sheet 1. General description 2 The PCA9624 is an I C-bus controlled 8-bit LED driver optimized for voltage switch dimming and blinking 100 mA Red/Green/Blue/Amber (RGBA) LEDs. Each LED output has its own 8-bit resolution (256 steps) fixed frequency individual PWM controller that operates at 97 kHz with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0 % to 99.6 % to allow the LED to be set to a specific brightness value. An additional 8-bit resolution (256 steps) group PWM controller has both a fixed frequency of 190 Hz and an adjustable frequency between 24 Hz to once every 10.73 seconds with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0 % to 99.6 % that is used to either dim or blink all LEDs with the same value. Each LED output can be off, on (no PWM control), set at its individual PWM controller value or at both individual and group PWM controller values. The PCA9624 operates with a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V and the 100 mA open-drain outputs allow voltages up to 40 V. The PCA9624 is one of the first LED controller devices in a new Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) family. Fm+ devices offer higher frequency (up to 1 MHz) and more densely populated bus operation (up to 4000 pF). The active LOW Output Enable input pin (OE) blinks all the LED outputs and can be used to externally PWM the outputs, which is useful when multiple devices must be dimmed or blinked together without using software control. 2 Software programmable LED Group and three Sub Call I C-bus addresses allow all or 2 defined groups of PCA9624 devices to respond to a common I C-bus address, allowing for example, all red LEDs to be turned on or off at the same time or marquee chasing 2 effect, thus minimizing I C-bus commands. Seven hardware address pins allow up to 126 devices on the same bus. The Software Reset (SWRST) Call allows the master to perform a reset of the PCA9624 2 through the I C-bus, identical to the Power-On Reset (POR) that initializes the registers to their default state causing the outputs to be set HIGH (LED off). This allows an easy and quick way to reconfigure all device registers to the same condition. The PCA9624 and PCA9634 software is identical and if the PCA9624 on-chip 100 mA NAND FETs do not provide enough current or voltage to drive the LEDs, then the PCA9634 with larger current or higher voltage external drivers can be used.PCA9624 NXP Semiconductors 2 8-bit Fm+ I C-bus 100 mA 40 V LED driver 2.

No input function. Output state change programmable on the Acknowledge or the STOP Command to update outputs byte-by-byte or all at the same time (default to Change on STOP). Active LOW Output Enable (OE) input pin allows for hardware blinking and dimming of the LEDs 7 hardware address pins allow 126 PCA9624 devices to be connected to the same 2 I C-bus and to be individually programmed 2 4 software programmable I C-bus addresses (one LED Group Call address and three LED Sub Call addresses) allow groups of devices to be addressed at the same time in any combination (for example, one register used for All Call so that all the PCA9624s 2 on the I C-bus can be addressed at the same time and the second register used for 1 three different addresses so that of all devices on the bus can be addressed at the 3 2 same time in a group). Software enable and disable for I C-bus address.
