Product details
Overview
PCA9665D,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a parallel-bus-to-I²C-bus controller IC enabling bidirectional communication between 8-bit parallel microcontrollers and the I²C-bus at up to 1 Mbit/s (Fast-mode Plus). It operates as master or slave, features a 68-byte buffer, 2.3–3.6 V supply, and 5 V-tolerant I/Os-used in industrial control modules requiring legacy parallel CPU interfacing with modern I²C peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the PCA9665D,118 datasheet, PCA9665D,118 pinout, PCA9665D,118 application, or PCA9665D,118 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SO20 package compatibility, software reset capability via parallel bus, 25 mA SCL/SDA drive strength, and support for General Call addressing in embedded system expansion designs.
Technical Context
The PCA9665D,118 integrates an internal oscillator (28.5 MHz typical) eliminating external timing components and handles all I²C protocol layers-including arbitration, START/STOP generation, ACK/NACK management, and clock stretching-without firmware overhead. Its register architecture separates direct-access (I2CSTA, I2CDAT, I2CCON) and indirect-access registers (I2CSCLL, I2CADR, I2CTO) via A0/A1 address decoding.
It supports two operational modes: Byte mode for single-byte transfers and Buffered mode for up to 68-byte burst transfers using interrupt- or polled-handshake. The device implements Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) compliance with 1 Mbit/s data rate, 25 mA sink capability on SCL/SDA, and hardware-level timeout detection to recover from bus lockups.

Pinout & Package
PCA9665D,118 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO20) with 20 leads and 7.5 mm body width (SOT163-1), optimized for through-hole and surface-mount assembly in space-constrained industrial PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| RD | Read strobe input | Active-low signal enabling register contents onto D0–D7 bus on falling edge-supports non-destructive status reads |
| CE | Chip enable input | Active-low global enable controlling 3-state output behavior of D0–D7; required for multi-device parallel bus sharing |
| A0, A1 | Register address select | Binary-encoded inputs selecting among five direct-access registers (I2CSTA, INDPTR, I2CDAT, I2CCON, INDIRECT) |
| INT | Interrupt request output | Open-drain active-low signal indicating I²C state transitions-enables efficient polled or interrupt-driven host CPU coordination |
| RESET | Hardware reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset clearing internal registers and halting I²C state machine-ensures deterministic startup |
| SCL, SDA | I²C-bus clock/data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional lines requiring external pull-ups; support Fast-mode Plus timing and 25 mA sink capability |
| VDD, VSS | Power supply terminals | VDD = 2.3–3.6 V core supply; VSS = ground reference-decoupling capacitor placement critical for oscillator stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Software reset via parallel bus | Writing to I2CPRESET register (indirect address 05h) performs full internal reset-enabling recovery without hardware RESET line assertion |
| I²C General Call support | Configurable via GC bit in I2CADR register-allows broadcast commands to all compatible slaves, simplifying system-wide configuration |
| Bus timeout protection | I2CTO register (04h) sets SCL LOW timeout threshold-automatically releases stuck bus and triggers interrupt for error handling |
| Flexible clock rate programming | I2CSCLL/I2CSCLH registers (02h/03h) allow precise SCL HIGH/LOW period tuning-enabling custom timing for marginal bus conditions |
| Multi-master arbitration | Hardware-managed arbitration logic resolves bus contention during simultaneous START conditions-ensuring deterministic master priority without software intervention |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCA9665PW,118 | TSSOP20 package (4.4 mm width); identical electrical specs and register map-same die, different footprint | Preferred for high-density PCB layouts where SO20's 7.5 mm width causes routing congestion | Select when board space is constrained and reflow soldering is available; requires layout revision but no firmware change |
| PCA9564,118 | Lacks Fm+ support (max 400 kbit/s), 32-byte buffer, no General Call, no software reset-legacy predecessor with reduced feature set | Suitable only for low-speed, low-complexity I²C expansion where 1 Mbit/s or buffered transfers are unnecessary | Choose only for cost-sensitive legacy replacements where performance and advanced features are not required |

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C-bus speed supported by the PCA9665D,118?
The PCA9665D,118 supports Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) operation at up to 1 Mbit/s. This is achieved via internal timing control and 25 mA SCL/SDA drive strength, enabling reliable communication with high-capacitance or multi-drop I²C buses. The PCA9665D,118 achieves this without external timing components thanks to its integrated 28.5 MHz oscillator.
Does the PCA9665D,118 require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the PCA9665D,118 contains an internal oscillator trimmed to ±15 % accuracy, eliminating the need for external crystals, capacitors, or clock generators. This reduces BOM cost and PCB area while simplifying design validation-the PCA9665D,118 starts up in ~550 µs after ENSIO is enabled.
How does the 68-byte buffer in the PCA9665D,118 improve system performance?
The 68-byte buffer allows the PCA9665D,118 to operate in Buffered mode, enabling burst transfers of up to 68 bytes without CPU intervention per byte. This cuts host interrupt overhead by >80 % compared to Byte mode, freeing CPU cycles for real-time tasks-especially valuable in medical sensor hubs and industrial controllers using the PCA9665D,118.
Can the PCA9665D,118 be used with 5 V microcontrollers?
Yes, the parallel I/O pins (D0–D7, RD, WR, CE, A0, A1, RESET, INT) of the PCA9665D,118 are 5 V tolerant while operating from a 2.3–3.6 V VDD supply. This allows direct interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers without level shifters-simplifying integration in upgrades of existing industrial or automotive systems using the PCA9665D,118.
What is the purpose of the I2CTO register in the PCA9665D,118?
The I2CTO register (indirect address 04h) configures the SCL LOW timeout threshold. If SCL remains LOW beyond this value, the PCA9665D,118 automatically releases the bus, loads status code 78h into I2CSTA, and asserts INT-preventing system lockup due to faulty slaves or wiring faults. This autonomous recovery is critical in unattended applications using the PCA9665D,118.
