Product details
Overview
PCA9535CPW,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a 16-bit I²C-bus/SMBus GPIO expander with open-drain I/Os, 2.3 V to 5.5 V supply range, 5 V I/O tolerance, and active-low interrupt output - designed for low-power embedded control of sensors, push buttons, LEDs, and fans in space-constrained industrial and consumer systems.
For engineers reviewing the PCA9535CPW,112 datasheet, PCA9535CPW,112 pinout, PCA9535CPW,112 application, or PCA9535CPW,112 equivalent, this device delivers verified I²C address configurability (up to 8 devices), polarity inversion per port, noise-filtered SCL/SDA inputs, and power-on reset initialization - critical for reliable multi-device bus management and input state change detection.
Technical Context
The PCA9535CPW,112 implements two independent 8-bit I/O ports (Port 0 and Port 1), each with dedicated Configuration, Input, Output, and Polarity Inversion registers - enabling per-pin direction control and active-HIGH/LOW input inversion without software overhead. Its open-drain I/O architecture eliminates internal pull-up resistors, reducing standby current versus the PCA9555 and avoiding unintended current paths when driving external loads.
Interrupt generation is hardware-synchronized: the open-drain INT pin activates only when an input pin's logic level differs from its corresponding Input Port register value - and clears upon reading that specific port's Input register. The device supports standard-mode (up to 100 kHz) and fast-mode (up to 400 kHz) I²C operation with noise filtering on SCL/SDA to suppress transient-induced glitches.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Polarity Inversion Register | Per-port 8-bit register flips read-back logic levels - simplifies firmware handling of active-low sensors or switches without bit-manipulation. |
| Power-on Reset | Internal POR circuit initializes all registers to defaults (all I/Os as inputs, outputs high) - ensures deterministic startup without host intervention. |
| No Glitch on Power-up | Output states remain high-impedance until VDD stabilizes - prevents spurious actuation of connected LEDs, relays, or logic circuits during power ramp. |
| Individual I/O Configuration | Each of 16 pins independently configurable as input or output via dedicated Configuration registers - enables mixed-mode interfaces on single device. |
| Latch-up Immunity | Exceeds JEDEC JESD78 (≥100 mA) - guarantees robust operation under transient overvoltage or ESD stress in noisy industrial settings. |
Applications
| ACPI Power Switch Control | Sensor Interface Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar GPIO expander applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCA9535PW,112 | Totem-pole (push-pull) outputs instead of open-drain; includes internal weak pull-ups on I/Os. | Better suited for driving LEDs directly with sink/source capability; higher quiescent current when I/Os held LOW. | Select PCA9535PW,112 if driving LEDs or logic loads requiring active HIGH outputs; PCA9535CPW,112 preferred for 5 V level shifting or wired-OR interrupt sharing. |
| PCA9555PW,112 | Includes internal 100 kΩ pull-up resistors on all I/Os; identical register map and pinout. | Higher standby current in input mode; less suitable for battery-powered systems where I/Os float or connect to 5 V sources. | Choose PCA9555PW,112 only when internal pull-ups simplify BOM; PCA9535CPW,112 offers lower power and true 5 V tolerance without pull-up leakage. |
Compared with PCA9535PW,112 and PCA9555PW,112, the PCA9535CPW,112 provides lowest standby current and safest 5 V I/O interfacing due to open-drain architecture and absence of internal pull-ups - making it optimal for power-sensitive and mixed-voltage industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the I²C address range supported by PCA9535CPW,112?
The PCA9535CPW,112 uses a fixed 7-bit base address of 0x20 (1000000b), with three hardware address pins (A0–A2) allowing eight unique addresses from 0x20 to 0x27. This enables up to eight PCA9535CPW,112 devices on a single I²C bus without address conflict or software remapping.
Does PCA9535CPW,112 support hot insertion or live bus connection?
The PCA9535CPW,112 does not include built-in hot-swap protection. Its I²C pins (SCL/SDA) feature noise filters but lack bus contention detection or slew-rate control. For live insertion, external series resistors and careful power sequencing are recommended - the PCA9535CPW,112 itself will not latch up or damage under typical hot-plug transients within its absolute maximum ratings.
How does the interrupt (INT) pin behave when multiple inputs change simultaneously?
The PCA9535CPW,112 INT pin is a wired-OR open-drain output that asserts LOW whenever *any* configured input pin differs from its Input Port register value - regardless of how many pins change. It remains asserted until the corresponding Input Port register (Port 0 or Port 1) is read, clearing only that port's interrupt condition.
Can PCA9535CPW,112 drive LEDs directly, and what are the current limitations?
The PCA9535CPW,112 I/Os are open-drain and cannot source current - they can only sink. LED anodes must connect to VDD (or higher voltage up to 5.5 V) with cathodes tied to I/O pins. Sink current per pin is rated at 25 mA max (per datasheet DC characteristics), but total package current must stay within thermal limits - PCA9535CPW,112 is optimized for control signaling, not high-current LED driving.
Is PCA9535CPW,112 pin-compatible with PCA9535PW,112?
Yes - PCA9535CPW,112 and PCA9535PW,112 share identical TSSOP24 pinout, register map, and I²C protocol. The only functional difference is I/O structure: PCA9535CPW,112 has open-drain outputs only, while PCA9535PW,112 has totem-pole outputs. No PCB layout change is needed, but firmware must account for missing source capability in PCA9535CPW,112.
