Product details
Overview
PCA9622BS,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a 16-channel I²C-bus LED driver with open-drain 100 mA outputs rated to 40 V, supporting individual 97 kHz PWM brightness control (256 steps) and group dimming/blinking (190 Hz fixed or 24 Hz–10.73 s programmable). It operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V and enables synchronized RGB/RGBA LED control in compact displays and status indicators.
For engineers reviewing the PCA9622BS,118 datasheet, PCA9622BS,118 pinout, PCA9622BS,118 application, or PCA9622BS,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its Fast-mode Plus (1 MHz) I²C interface, hardware addressability for up to 126 devices, active-low OE synchronization, and dual-layer PWM architecture enabling independent per-LED and global timing control.
Technical Context
The PCA9622BS,118 integrates a 25 MHz internal oscillator (no external components required), noise-filtered SDA/SCL inputs, and power-on reset logic ensuring glitch-free startup. Its register map supports Auto-Increment modes for sequential programming of 16 individual PWM registers (02h–11h), group duty cycle (12h), and group frequency (13h).
Control logic allows four output states per channel (off/on/individual PWM/group+individual PWM), selected via LEDOUT0–LEDOUT3 registers. The MODE2 register's DMBLNK bit determines whether GRPPWM/GRPFREQ configure global dimming (190 Hz) or blinking (24 Hz–10.73 s), with OE pin enabling hardware-level synchronization across multiple devices.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCA9635BS,118 | Same register map and software compatibility; replaces on-chip 100 mA FETs with external high-current/high-voltage drivers | Required when driving >100 mA per channel or >40 V LED strings | Select PCA9635BS,118 only if PCA9622BS,118's integrated drivers are insufficient for target LED load |
| TLC5940IPWP | 16-channel 12-bit PWM (4096 steps); 125 mA per channel; SPI interface; no group PWM or I²C addressing | Better grayscale resolution but lacks multi-device synchronization and software-configurable blink timing | Choose TLC5940IPWP when ultra-fine brightness gradation is prioritized over I²C bus scalability and hardware blink control |
Compared with PCA9622BS,118, the PCA9635BS,118 maintains identical control architecture while enabling higher-power LED loads, whereas the TLC5940IPWP trades I²C flexibility and group timing features for superior PWM resolution and raw current capability - making each suitable for distinct system-level trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of PCA9622BS,118 devices supported on a single I²C bus?
The PCA9622BS,118 supports up to 126 devices on one I²C bus using its 7 hardware address pins (A0–A6). Two addresses - Software Reset (06h) and LED All Call (E0h) - are reserved and unavailable for individual addressing, reducing the usable count from 128 to 126. Each PCA9622BS,118 must have a unique hardware address to avoid bus conflicts during write operations.
Does PCA9622BS,118 require external components for oscillator operation?
No, the PCA9622BS,118 includes an integrated 25 MHz oscillator that requires no external crystals, capacitors, or resistors. This simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM cost. The oscillator starts within 500 μs after exiting SLEEP mode (MODE1 bit 4 = 0), and all PWM timing functions depend on this internal clock source.
How does the OE pin interact with internal group blinking on PCA9622BS,118?
The OE pin must not be used for external blinking control when DMBLNK = 1 (group blinking enabled in MODE2 register), as this creates undefined output behavior. When internal blinking is active, OE should remain static or be held HIGH to disable outputs. For synchronized blinking across multiple PCA9622BS,118 devices, use the All Call address (E0h) instead of OE.
What are the valid output states configured via LEDOUT registers on PCA9622BS,118?
The LEDOUT0–LEDOUT3 registers define four per-channel states: 00 = off (default), 01 = fully on (no PWM), 10 = individual PWM only (PWMx register), and 11 = individual + group PWM (PWMx and GRPPWM/GRPFREQ). These states determine whether group dimming/blinking applies to each LED, and are essential for mixed-mode lighting effects like pulsing icons with static backgrounds.
Can PCA9622BS,118 drive LEDs with forward voltages exceeding 5.5 V?
Yes, the PCA9622BS,118's 16 open-drain outputs are rated for 40 V off-state voltage, allowing direct connection to high-VF LED strings (e.g., 10× white LEDs at 3.2 V each = 32 V total) without external level-shifting. The VDD supply (2.3–5.5 V) powers only the logic core; LED current is sourced externally through the anodes, with PCA9622BS,118 sinking current to ground.
