Product details
Overview
CY8C9560A-24AXIT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 60-bit I/O expander IC with integrated EEPROM and 16 independently configurable 8-bit PWM outputs, operating as dual I²C slave devices (I/O expander + serial EEPROM). It supports up to 128 device addressing via Extendable Soft Addressing (A0–A6), features interrupt-driven input change detection, and stores user-defined port/PWM defaults in nonvolatile memory for automatic restoration at power-up - used in embedded system board management and LED dimming control.
For engineers reviewing the CY8C9560A-24AXIT datasheet, CY8C9560A-24AXIT pinout, CY8C9560A-24AXIT application, or CY8C9560A-24AXIT equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C clock stretching support, WD pin-based EEPROM write disable, 10 mA source / 25 mA sink drive capability per GPIO, and register-level configuration of quasi-bidirectional I/O modes.
Technical Context
The CY8C9560A implements two independent I²C slave interfaces: one for multi-port I/O register access (7-bit address 0x40–0x7F) and another for EEPROM byte read/write (7-bit address 0xA0–0xAF). Its control unit parses command bytes (e.g., 01h–07h) to execute POR default storage, factory reset, or PWM reconfiguration.
Each of its 60 GPIOs maps to GPort 0–7 with configurable drive modes (pull-up/down, open-drain, strong drive, high-Z), inversion, direction, and PWM assignment via dedicated registers (1Ch–23h, 28h–2Fh). The internal watchdog timer and POR circuit ensure deterministic initialization without external reset components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| I/O Count | 60-bit expandable GPIO across eight ports (GPort 0–7), enabling dense peripheral interfacing on resource-constrained hosts. |
| PWM Outputs | 16 × 8-bit PWM channels (PWM0–PWM15), each selectable from six clock sources (1.5 MHz, 93.75 kHz, 32 kHz, 24 MHz, dividers), supporting LED dimming and motor control. |
| EEPROM Size | 27 Kbyte user-accessible EEPROM with 2-byte addressing, allowing persistent storage of calibration data, board IDs, or fault logs. |
| I²C Compatibility | Electrically compatible with SMBus but requires I²C master clock stretching support - not SMBus timeout-compliant. |
| Drive Strength | 10 mA source / 25 mA sink per pin in strong-drive mode; configurable pull-up/pull-down eliminates need for external bias resistors. |
| Interrupt Logic | Dedicated INT pin asserts on input level change or PWM state transition; maskable per-pin via Interrupt Mask Register (19h). |
| Address Pins | A0 fixed + A1–A6 optional (up to 7 bits), enabling 128 unique I²C addresses on shared bus without external jumpers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 100-pin TQFP (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vdd | Power supply | Core and I/O supply (2.7–5.5 V); decoupling required within 10 mm of pin. |
| Vss | GND | Digital ground reference for all I/O and internal logic. |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Open-drain input requiring external pull-up; supports up to 400 kHz standard-mode I²C. |
| SDA | I²C data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; shares bus with other I²C slaves using clock stretching. |
| INT | Interrupt output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating input change or PWM event; requires external pull-up. |
| WD | EEPROM write disable | Hardware lock: high = blocks all EEPROM writes, overriding software configuration registers. |
| A0–A6 | I²C address inputs | A0 fixed; A1–A6 configurable - unused pins become GPIOs (GPort 1/2), maximizing pin utility. |
| GPort 0–7 | GPIO/PWM terminals | 60 total I/O lines; each individually assignable as input, output, quasi-bidirectional, or PWM output via register 1Ch/28h. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| User-default EEPROM storage | Port direction, drive mode, and PWM settings saved to EEPROM and auto-restored at power-on - eliminates host initialization overhead. |
| Extendable Soft Addressing | Configurable A1–A6 pin usage allows dynamic trade-off between I²C address space and available GPIO count. |
| Per-pin drive mode control | Seven modes (pull-up, pull-down, open-drain high/low, strong drive fast/slow, high-Z) set via Drive Mode Registers (1Dh–23h) - no external components needed. |
| Register-based PWM configuration | Period (2Ah), pulse width (2Bh), clock source (2Ch), and enable (2Dh) controlled per-PWM channel - enables synchronized multi-channel timing. |
| Interrupt status/mask granularity | Separate Interrupt Status (10h–17h) and Mask (19h) registers per port allow selective edge-triggered notification without polling. |
Applications
| LED Dimming Control | Board-Level Monitoring |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar I/O expansion applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCA9555DWR | 16-bit I/O expander only; no PWM, no EEPROM; 400 kHz I²C; no clock stretching required. | Limited to basic GPIO extension without timing-critical functions like LED dimming or nonvolatile config storage. | Select when only digital I/O expansion is needed and host lacks clock-stretching support. |
| TCA6424ARGJR | 24-bit I/O expander with interrupt, but no PWM or EEPROM; supports 1 MHz I²C; includes reset pin. | Requires external microcontroller for PWM generation and separate EEPROM for configuration persistence. | Choose for high-speed I²C buses where deterministic timing and minimal external components outweigh feature gaps. |
Compared with PCA9555DWR and TCA6424ARGJR, CY8C9560A-24AXIT integrates PWM timing, nonvolatile configuration, and scalable addressing - reducing BOM count and firmware complexity in systems requiring coordinated I/O, dimming, and field-programmable settings.

FAQ
Does CY8C9560A-24AXIT support standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) I²C?
Yes, it supports both standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) I²C operation. However, it mandates clock stretching support from the I²C master during EEPROM write operations and register accesses that trigger internal processing - unlike SMBus-compliant devices.
How is the 27 Kbyte EEPROM organized and accessed?
The EEPROM uses 2-byte addressing (AHI/ALO) spanning 0x0000–0x69FF (27,647 bytes). It is accessed as a separate I²C slave (base address 0xA0) and supports byte-write and sequential-read operations. Writes crossing 64-byte boundaries cause automatic clock stretching.
Can unused address pins (A1–A6) be repurposed as GPIOs?
Yes - pins A1–A6 are multiplexed. When not used for I²C addressing, they function as general-purpose I/Os assigned to GPort 1 or GPort 2, increasing usable GPIO count without additional package pins.
What happens to I/O states during power-on reset?
At power-on, the device executes internal POR and loads factory defaults (pulled-up inputs) unless user defaults have been stored in EEPROM. If valid user defaults exist, they override factory settings and configure all ports, drive modes, and PWMs automatically.
