Product details
Overview
PCA9575PW1,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a 16-bit I²C/SMBus GPIO expander with dual independent I/O voltage rails (1.1 V to 3.6 V), active-low reset, open-drain interrupt output, and bus-hold/pull-up/pull-down programmability-designed for low-voltage mobile and multi-rail embedded systems such as clamshell phones and sensor interface modules.
For engineers reviewing the PCA9575PW1,118 datasheet, PCA9575PW1,118 pinout, PCA9575PW1,118 application, or PCA9575PW1,118 equivalent, this device delivers level-translating I/O expansion in TSSOP24 packaging with verified 400 kHz I²C operation, <2 μA standby current, and power-on default-to-input behavior critical for battery-powered system initialization and voltage-domain bridging.
Technical Context
The PCA9575PW1,118 implements two independent 8-bit I/O banks (P0_0–P0_7 and P1_0–P1_7), each with dedicated VDD(IO) supply pins enabling simultaneous operation at different logic levels (e.g., 1.8 V core ↔ 3.3 V peripheral). Its register map includes configuration, polarity inversion, bus-hold enable, pull-up/pull-down selection, and interrupt mask registers-all accessible via standard I²C write/read sequences.
It supports Auto-Increment mode for sequential register access, features a fixed 7-bit I²C address (0x20) specific to the TSSOP24 variant, and uses an internal Power-On Reset plus external active-low RESET pin to initialize all I/Os as inputs with default register states-including pull-up resistors enabled and interrupt masking active.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| I²C Speed | 400 kHz maximum-enables fast host communication without requiring high-speed controller support |
| Supply Range | 1.1 V to 3.6 V core (VDD); 1.1 V to 3.6 V per I/O bank (VDD(IO)0/VDD(IO)1)-supports mixed-voltage system interconnect |
| Standby Current | <2 μA at VDD = 1.8 V-minimizes battery drain during sleep in portable devices |
| I/O Configuration | 16 individually configurable pins (8 per bank), defaulting to high-impedance input at power-up-ensures safe startup before firmware initialization |
| Interrupt Output | Open-drain INT pin, active LOW-allows wired-AND connection to shared MCU interrupt lines with external pull-up |
| ESD Rating | 6000 V HBM, 1000 V CDM-meets industrial handling and board-level robustness requirements |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +85 °C-qualified for industrial and consumer mobile environments |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP24 package (SOT355-1), 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, exposed pad not present-compatible with standard surface-mount reflow profiles and automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Core logic supply | 1.1 V–3.6 V digital core voltage; powers I²C interface, registers, and control logic |
| VDD(IO)0 | I/O bank 0 supply | Independent 1.1 V–3.6 V rail for P0_0–P0_7-enables level translation between core and peripheral domains |
| VDD(IO)1 | I/O bank 1 supply | Independent 1.1 V–3.6 V rail for P1_0–P1_7-allows asymmetric voltage operation across both banks |
| RESET | Active-low hardware reset | Asynchronous reset that forces all I/Os to input mode and reloads default register values |
| INT | Open-drain interrupt output | Asserts LOW on unmasked input state change-requires external pull-up; supports interrupt coalescing |
| SCL / SDA | I²C serial interface | Standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) compatible; bidirectional, slew-rate controlled |
| P0_0–P0_7 | Bank 0 I/O ports | Configurable as input/output with bus-hold, pull-up/pull-down, and polarity inversion per pin |
| P1_0–P1_7 | Bank 1 I/O ports | Functionally identical to Bank 0 but electrically isolated by separate VDD(IO)1 supply |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent I/O voltage rails | Enables reliable interfacing between 1.2 V SoCs and 3.3 V sensors/peripherals without external level shifters |
| Programmable bus-hold or 100 kΩ pull-up/pull-down | Eliminates need for external biasing components while preventing floating inputs in un-driven states |
| Power-on default to input mode | Guarantees high-impedance I/O state at startup-prevents contention or unintended drive on shared buses |
| GPIO All Call command | Allows synchronized register writes across multiple PCA9575PW1,118 devices sharing same I²C bus segment |
| Interrupt mask per I/O pin | Reduces spurious interrupts by selectively disabling edge detection on non-critical inputs (e.g., status LEDs) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar GPIO expansion applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCA9539PW,118 | 16-bit I²C GPIO with identical TSSOP24 package but no VDD(IO) separation-single 2.3–5.5 V I/O supply only | Lacks level translation; requires all peripherals to share same I/O voltage domain | Select when system uses uniform 3.3 V or 5 V I/O and cost sensitivity outweighs voltage flexibility |
| TCA6424APWR | 24-bit I²C GPIO in TSSOP24; supports 1.65–5.5 V VDD and 1.65–5.5 V VDDIO-wider voltage range but no bus-hold feature | Higher pin count and broader voltage tolerance, but lacks bus-hold for weakly driven inputs | Prefer when >16 GPIOs are needed and external pull-ups are acceptable; verify interrupt latency requirements |
Compared with PCA9575PW1,118, PCA9539PW,118 sacrifices voltage domain isolation for lower unit cost, while TCA6424APWR trades bus-hold reliability for higher channel count and extended voltage range-making PCA9575PW1,118 optimal for constrained, multi-rail mobile designs where pin-level controllability and ultra-low quiescent current are decisive.

FAQ
What is the I²C address of PCA9575PW1,118?
The PCA9575PW1,118 has a fixed 7-bit I²C target address of 0x20 (0100000b), as defined in its datasheet Figure 6. This address is hard-coded for the TSSOP24 package variant and cannot be altered via address pins-unlike the 28-pin PCA9575PW2 which supports 16 configurable addresses. The R/W bit is appended externally during communication.
Does PCA9575PW1,118 support true level translation between different I/O voltages?
Yes, PCA9575PW1,118 supports true bidirectional level translation: its VDD(IO)0 and VDD(IO)1 pins allow independent supply of each 8-bit I/O bank at any voltage from 1.1 V to 3.6 V, while the core logic (VDD) operates separately in the same range. This enables simultaneous interfacing-for example-of a 1.2 V processor with 3.3 V sensors without external translators.
How does the RESET pin function on PCA9575PW1,118?
The RESET pin on PCA9575PW1,118 is an active-low asynchronous input that forces all 16 I/Os into high-impedance input mode, clears output latches, resets configuration and polarity registers to their power-on defaults, and restarts the internal state machine-regardless of I²C activity. It ensures deterministic recovery after fault conditions or brown-out events.
Can PCA9575PW1,118 drive LEDs directly?
No, PCA9575PW1,118 cannot directly drive standard LEDs: its output drive strength is limited to 1 mA source / 3 mA sink per pin, insufficient for typical LED forward currents (5–20 mA). It can, however, control LED driver transistors or low-current indicator LEDs (<1 mA) with appropriate current-limiting resistors and verified voltage compatibility.
What happens to the I/O pins when VDD is powered off but VDD(IO)0 remains active?
When VDD is off but VDD(IO)0 is active, the PCA9575PW1,118 holds its I/O banks in their last configured state (input/output direction and output logic level) as defined in the datasheet Section 1 General Description. This "I/O retention" behavior prevents floating outputs and maintains signal integrity during partial power-down sequences common in mobile power management.
