PCA9633 2 4-bit Fm+ I C-bus LED driver Rev. 05 25 July 2008 Product data sheet 1. General description 2 The PCA9633 is an I C-bus controlled 4-bit LED driver optimized for Red/Green/Blue/Amber (RGBA) color mixing applications. Each LED output has its own 8-bit resolution (256 steps) xed 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 specic brightness value. A fth 8-bit resolution (256 steps) Group PWM controller has both a xed 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 LED output driver is programmed to be either open-drain with a 25 mA current sink capability at 5 V or totem pole with a 25 mA sink, 10 mA source capability at 5 V. The PCA9633 operates with a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V and the outputs are 5.5 V tolerant. LEDs can be directly connected to the LED output (up to 25 mA, 5.5 V) or controlled with external drivers and a minimum amount of discrete components for larger current or higher voltage LEDs. The PCA9633 is one of the rst 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) allows asynchronous control of the LED 2 outputs and can be used to set all the outputs to a dened I C-bus programmable logic state. The OE can also be used to externally PWM the outputs, which is useful when multiple devices need to be dimmed or blinked together using software control. This feature is available for the 16-pin version only. 2 Software programmable LED Group and three Sub Call I C addresses allow all or dened 2 groups of PCA9633 devices to respond to a common I C address, allowing for example, all red LEDs to be turned on or off at the same time or marquee chasing effect, thus 2 minimizing I C-bus commands. 2 2 The PCA9633 is offered with 3 different I C-bus address options: xed I C-bus address 2 (8-pin version), 4 different I C-bus addresses from 2 programmable address pins (10-pin 2 version), and 126 different I C-bus addresses from 7 programmable address pins (16-pin version). They are software identical except for the different number of address combinations. The Software Reset (SWRST) Call allows the master to perform a reset of the PCA9633 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 recongure all device registers to the same condition.PCA9633 NXP Semiconductors 2 4-bit Fm+ I C-bus LED driver 2. Features n 4 LED drivers.
