Product details
Overview
PCA9539PW/Q900,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a 24-pin TSSOP I²C/SMBus 16-bit GPIO expander with active-low interrupt and reset, 5 V tolerant I/Os, and operation from 3.0 V to 5.5 V. It provides parallel input/output expansion for microcontroller systems requiring additional digital control lines in automotive body electronics and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PCA9539PW/Q900,118 datasheet, PCA9539PW/Q900,118 pinout, PCA9539PW/Q900,118 application, or PCA9539PW/Q900,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification (−40 °C to +125 °C), absence of internal pull-ups (enabling ultra-low standby current), and dedicated RESET pin that fully resets registers and state machine - distinguishing it from the PCA9539R variant.
Technical Context
The PCA9539PW/Q900,118 implements two independent 8-bit I/O ports (Port 0 and Port 1), each with configurable direction (input/output), polarity inversion, and input register read-back. Its interrupt output activates on input state change and clears only upon reading the corresponding port register - not cross-port reads.
It uses standard I²C addressing with hardware-selectable A0/A1 pins (four possible addresses: 0x74–0x77), supports up to 400 kHz clock frequency, and includes noise filtering on SCL/SDA inputs. The RESET pin is active-low and causes full device initialization including configuration and output registers - unlike the PCA9539R, where RESET leaves I/O register states intact.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| I/O Count | 16-bit bidirectional GPIO (8-bit Port 0 + 8-bit Port 1) |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V controllers without level shifters |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 5 V tolerant - allows safe connection to 5 V peripherals even when VDD = 3.3 V |
| Interrupt Output | Open-drain, active-low - requires external pull-up; asserts when any configured input changes state |
| Reset Function | Active-low RESET pin fully resets all registers and I²C state machine - ensures deterministic startup |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for automotive under-hood applications |
| I²C Speed | 0 Hz to 400 kHz - compatible with standard-mode and fast-mode I²C buses |
Pinout & Package
PCA9539PW/Q900,118 is housed in a 24-lead TSSOP package (SOT355-1), 4.4 mm body width, with pin 1 located in quadrant Q1 per reel tape standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INT (Pin 1) | Interrupt output | Open-drain signal indicating input state change; requires external pull-up to VDD |
| A1 (Pin 2) | Address input | LSB of hardware I²C address (0x74–0x77); tied HIGH/LOW to select one of four devices on same bus |
| RESET (Pin 3) | Reset input | Active-low; forces full register and state machine reset - restores default configuration (all I/Os as inputs) |
| IO0_0 to IO0_7 (Pins 4–11) | Port 0 I/O | Eight bidirectional pins; direction set by Configuration Port 0 register; default to high-impedance inputs at power-on |
| VSS (Pin 12) | Ground | Primary supply return; must be connected to system ground plane |
| IO1_0 to IO1_7 (Pins 13–20) | Port 1 I/O | Eight bidirectional pins; functionally identical to Port 0; defaults to inputs at reset |
| A0 (Pin 21) | Address input | MSB of hardware I²C address; used with A1 to configure device address |
| SCL (Pin 22) | I²C clock | Input-only clock line; includes internal noise filter for robust operation in noisy environments |
| SDA (Pin 23) | I²C data | Open-drain bidirectional data line; requires external pull-up; includes internal noise filter |
| VDD (Pin 24) | Supply voltage | 3.0 V to 5.5 V power input; powers internal logic and I/O buffers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero internal I/O pull-up resistors | Eliminates static current draw when I/Os are held LOW - critical for battery-powered systems |
| Dedicated hardware RESET | Full register and state machine reset without power cycle - enables reliable recovery from I²C bus lockup |
| Independent port interrupt clearing | Reading Port 0 register clears only Port 0 interrupts - prevents unintended masking of Port 1 events |
| Polarity inversion per port | Permits active-HIGH or active-LOW interpretation of input signals without external inverters |
| ESD protection | ≥2000 V HBM and ≥1000 V CDM - enhances reliability in handling and assembly environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar GPIO expander applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCA9539PW,118 | Same silicon, non-AEC-Q100; rated for −40 °C to +85 °C only | Not suitable for under-hood or extended-temperature industrial use | Select PCA9539PW/Q900,118 for automotive or high-reliability thermal environments |
| PCA9539RPW/Q900,118 | RESET pin resets only I²C state machine - I/O register contents persist | Enables "graceful" I²C recovery without disrupting peripheral states (e.g., LED brightness, relay positions) | Choose PCA9539RPW/Q900,118 when maintaining I/O state during bus recovery is critical |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the PCA9539PW/Q900,118?
The PCA9539PW/Q900,118 is AEC-Q100 qualified for operation from −40 °C to +125 °C. This extended range supports deployment in automotive engine compartments, industrial control cabinets, and outdoor equipment where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial-grade limits. Its thermal performance is validated per Grade 1 requirements, ensuring reliability under sustained high-temperature stress.
How does the RESET pin on the PCA9539PW/Q900,118 differ from the PCA9539R variant?
The RESET pin on the PCA9539PW/Q900,118 performs a full device reset: it initializes all registers (configuration, output, polarity inversion) and the I²C state machine to their power-on defaults. In contrast, the PCA9539R's RESET pin only resets the I²C interface state machine - leaving I/O register contents unchanged. This makes the PCA9539PW/Q900,118 ideal for applications requiring guaranteed deterministic startup behavior.
Does the PCA9539PW/Q900,118 include internal pull-up resistors on its I/O pins?
No, the PCA9539PW/Q900,118 omits internal I/O pull-up resistors entirely - a key distinction from the PCA9555. This design eliminates static current draw when I/Os are held LOW, significantly reducing standby power consumption. External pull-ups must be added if required for specific interface logic levels or open-drain configurations.
Can the PCA9539PW/Q900,118 interface directly with 5 V peripherals while powered from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the PCA9539PW/Q900,118 features 5 V tolerant I/Os. When VDD = 3.3 V, its I/O pins safely accept input voltages up to 5.5 V and drive outputs compatible with 5 V logic thresholds. This eliminates the need for external level-shifting circuitry in mixed-voltage systems - simplifying design and reducing BOM cost.
How is the I²C address configured on the PCA9539PW/Q900,118?
The PCA9539PW/Q900,118 uses two hardware address pins - A0 and A1 - to configure its 7-bit I²C address. With both pins grounded, the base address is 0x74; tying A0 HIGH sets 0x75, A1 HIGH sets 0x76, and both HIGH sets 0x77. This allows up to four PCA9539PW/Q900,118 devices to share the same I²C bus without address conflict.
