Product details
Overview
PCA9504ADGG,112 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips Semiconductors) is a highly integrated motherboard "glue chip" ASIC designed for Intel 8xx-series chipset platforms. It provides dual strapping-selectable logic modes, 5 V/3.3 V voltage translation for DDC and VGA sync signals, IDE/PCI reset buffering, power sequencing (BACKFEED_CUT, PWRGD_3V), and HD/LED drive - all in a single 56-pin TSSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the PCA9504ADGG,112 datasheet, PCA9504ADGG,112 pinout, PCA9504ADGG,112 application, or PCA9504ADGG,112 equivalent, this device is critical for legacy PC motherboard design involving Intel ICH2-based platforms, power-good signal generation, VGA DDC level-shifting, and SLP_S3/S5 state coordination.
Technical Context
The PCA9504ADGG,112 implements configurable logic paths via its STRAP pin (pin 54), enabling either FLUSH mode (for CPU flush/init timing control) or GP mode (for generic gate input/output routing). Its analog reference circuitry (VCCP_VREF) dynamically adjusts input thresholds based on selected mode - 0.95–1.1 V in FLUSH mode, 1.95–2.1 V in GP mode - ensuring robust signal interpretation across varying noise margins.
It integrates bidirectional 3.3 V ↔ 5 V I²C/SMBus DDC translation (3V_DDCSCL/SDA ↔ 5V_DDCSCL/SDA) with open-drain compatibility up to 400 kHz, and supports precise power sequencing: PWRGD_PS → PWRGD_3V propagation delay (4.5–11.0 ns), LATCHED_BACKFEED_CUT activation synchronized to SLP_S5 transitions, and RSMRST generation with 32 ms nominal delay from V_5P0_STBY rise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp | 0 °C to +70 °C - validated for commercial desktop/server motherboard environments |
| Supply Voltages | Separate 3.3 V standby (V_3P3_STBY) and 5 V standby (V_5P0_STBY) rails required - enables independent power well management |
| I/O Voltage Translation | 3.3 V ↔ 5 V bidirectional DDC translation (SCL/SDA) - meets VESA DDC2B timing and voltage requirements for VGA monitor handshaking |
| Output Drive Strength | HD_LED drives 24 mA sink; IDE_RSTDRV sources/sinks ±6 mA - sufficient for direct connection to HDD activity LEDs and IDE reset lines |
| Propagation Delay | PWRGD_PS → PWRGD_3V: 4.5–11.0 ns - ensures tight synchronization between main PSU and 3.3 V rail power-good assertion |
| ESD Protection | ≥1000 V HBM (JESD22-A114), ≥750 V CDM (JESD22-C101) - meets motherboard-level ESD immunity requirements |

Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin TSSOP (SOT364-1), 0.5 mm pitch, body size 14.0 × 6.1 mm - optimized for high-density ATX/mATX motherboard layouts near I/O controller hub (ICH2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VREF3IN) | 3.3 V reference input | Provides stable 3.3 V reference for internal analog comparators and threshold generation |

| 34 (PWRGD_3V) | 3.3 V power-good output | Asserted after PWRGD_PS with ≤11 ns delay - used to enable 3.3 V domain logic and memory |
| 41 (TEST_EN) | Test enable input | Internal 100 kΩ pull-down - enables boundary-scan and functional test modes during manufacturing |
| 54 (STRAP) | Mode selection | Internally pulled up to default FLUSH mode; grounding selects GP mode for general-purpose logic reconfiguration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual strapping-selectable logic modes | Single hardware configuration (STRAP pin) switches between FLUSH timing control and GP gate routing - eliminates need for multiple BOM variants |
| VGA DDC & sync level translation | Integrated 3.3 V ↔ 5 V translation for DDCSCL/SDA, HSYNC_3V/5V, VSYNC_3V/5V - removes four discrete level-shifters from motherboard BOM |
| Power sequencing with latching | LATCHED_BACKFEED_CUT output remains asserted until SLP_S5 deassertion - prevents backfeed during suspend/resume transitions |
| 5 V reference generation | REF5V and REF5V_STBY outputs auto-select dominant supply (VREF5IN or VREF3IN; V_5P0_STBY or V_3P3_STBY) - ensures stable reference under asymmetric power-up sequences |
| IDE/PCI reset buffering | PCIRST_IN → PCIRST_OUT (3.3 V, +3 mA) and IDE_RSTDRV (5 V, ±6 mA) - isolates chipset reset signals from load variations and noise |
| Hard drive LED driver | HD_LED sinks 24 mA with 0.4 V VOL - directly drives standard front-panel LEDs without external transistor or current-limiting resistor |
Applications

FAQ
What is the primary function of the PCA9504ADGG,112 in a motherboard design?
The PCA9504ADGG,112 serves as a dedicated "glue chip" for Intel 8xx-series chipset platforms, integrating power sequencing (PWRGD_3V, BACKFEED_CUT), VGA DDC level translation, IDE/PCI reset buffering, and front-panel LED driving. Its core purpose is to replace multiple discrete logic ICs and passive components - reducing BOM count, PCB area, and design complexity while ensuring timing-critical signal coordination across 3.3 V and 5 V domains. The PCA9504ADGG,112 is essential for achieving functional compliance with Intel ICH2-based reference designs.
How does the STRAP pin (pin 54) affect the operation of the PCA9504ADGG,112?
The STRAP pin determines whether the PCA9504ADGG,112 operates in FLUSH mode (default, internally pulled up) or GP (General Purpose) mode (grounded). In FLUSH mode, pins 4–8 implement CPU flush/init timing logic with dynamic VCCP_VREF thresholds (0.95–1.1 V); in GP mode, those same pins become configurable logic gates (GP1/GP2 inputs/outputs) with higher thresholds (1.95–2.1 V). This dual-mode capability allows one silicon design to serve two distinct motherboard architectures without mask changes. The PCA9504ADGG,112's behavior is fully determined by this single hardware strap - no firmware or register writes are involved.
Can the PCA9504ADGG,112 be used in new designs today, given its legacy status?
Yes - the PCA9504ADGG,112 remains actively supported for repair, refurbishment, and continuity manufacturing of Intel 8xx-based systems including industrial PCs, medical imaging workstations, and legacy server platforms. NXP maintains qualified sources and extended lifecycle documentation, and Aetrix Electronics provides traceable, tested inventory with full lot traceability. While not intended for green-field PCIe-based designs, the PCA9504ADGG,112 delivers guaranteed form-fit-function replacement for existing assemblies where obsolescence risk must be mitigated. Its proven reliability over 20+ years of field use further validates its suitability for long-lifecycle deployments.
What are the key electrical differences between the 3.3 V and 5 V I/O sections of the PCA9504ADGG,112?
The PCA9504ADGG,112 maintains strict voltage-domain separation: 3.3 V I/Os (e.g., CPU_PRESENT, SLP_S3, 3V_DDCSCL) tolerate inputs up to V_3P3_STBY + 0.5 V and drive outputs to 3.3 V levels with ±3 mA drive strength; 5 V I/Os (e.g., HD_LED, IDE_RSTDRV, 5V_DDCSCL) tolerate inputs up to V_5P0_STBY + 0.5 V and drive outputs to 5 V levels with ±6 mA drive strength. Input hysteresis ranges from 250 mV (CLK_IN) to 400 mV (SLP_S3, FPRST), and all open-drain outputs (e.g., FLUSH_OUT_CPU, PS_ON) specify VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 6–12 mA. These parameters ensure interoperability with both ICH2 (3.3 V) and legacy peripherals (5 V) without level-shifting components. The PCA9504ADGG,112's dual-supply architecture enforces this isolation at the silicon level.
Does the PCA9504ADGG,112 support modern display interfaces like HDMI or DisplayPort?
No - the PCA9504ADGG,112 was designed exclusively for VGA monitor interfaces and supports only DDC2B (I²C-based) communication and HSYNC/VSYNC level translation between 3.3 V chipset logic and 5 V VGA monitors. It does not include HDMI, DisplayPort, LVDS, or eDP transceivers, nor does it support HDCP, EDID extensions beyond 128 bytes, or high-speed serial link protocols. Its video-related functionality is strictly limited to analog VGA timing and DDC handshaking. For modern display interfaces, system designers must use dedicated SerDes ICs or GPU-integrated controllers. The PCA9504ADGG,112 remains relevant only in VGA-dependent legacy systems.
