Product details
Overview
PCA9665PW,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a parallel-bus–to–I²C-bus controller IC that bridges standard 8-bit parallel microcontrollers to the I²C-bus as master or slave, supporting Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) up to 1 MHz, 68-byte buffered data transfer, and 2.3 V–3.6 V operation with 5 V–tolerant I/Os. It enables bidirectional serial communication in industrial control panels requiring deterministic timing and multi-master arbitration.
For engineers reviewing the PCA9665PW,112 datasheet, PCA9665PW,112 pinout, PCA9665PW,112 application, or PCA9665PW,112 equivalent, this device delivers verified Fm+ protocol handling, software reset via parallel bus, internal oscillator (28.5 MHz), and interrupt-driven or polled handshake - critical for embedded systems integrating legacy parallel peripherals with modern I²C sensors and EEPROMs.
Technical Context
The PCA9665PW,112 implements full I²C-bus protocol logic-including START/STOP generation, arbitration resolution, ACK/NACK management, and clock stretching-without external timing components. Its dual-mode operation (Byte or Buffered) is controlled by the MODE bit in I2CCON, with Buffered mode enabling up to 68-byte transfers using the indirect register map and INDPTR pointer.
Internal register architecture separates four direct-access registers (I2CSTA, INDPTR, I2CDAT, I2CCON) from seven indirect registers (I2CCOUNT through I2CMODE), accessed via A1/A0 address decoding on the parallel bus. The ENSIO bit enables the SCL/SDA interface and activates the 28.5 MHz oscillator, which stabilizes within 550 µs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| I²C Speed Mode | Fast-mode Plus (Fm+): supports 1 Mbit/s data rate with 25 mA SCL/SDA sink capability - enables high-throughput sensor networks without external bus buffers. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic domains; 5 V–tolerant parallel I/Os allow direct interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers. |
| Data Buffer | 68-byte FIFO buffer - reduces CPU overhead in burst transfers (e.g., reading multi-byte ADC results or writing display frame buffers). |
| Internal Oscillator | 28.5 MHz ±15 % - eliminates need for external crystal or RC network; startup time ≤550 µs after ENSIO assertion. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial environments including programmable logic controllers and motor drives. |
| I²C Addressing | 7-bit slave address + General Call support (GC bit in I2CADR) - allows broadcast commands to multiple PCA9665PW,112 devices on same bus. |
| Interrupt Logic | Active-low open-drain INT output with SI flag in I2CCON - synchronizes CPU response to I²C state transitions (e.g., completion of byte transfer or arbitration loss). |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1), 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free, RoHS-compliant. Thermal pad not present - no exposed center pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0–D7 | Parallel data bus I/O | Bidirectional 3-state 8-bit interface to microcontroller data bus; D0 = LSB; requires CE/WR/RD handshaking for register access. |
| A0, A1 | Register address select | Directly decode four register addresses (I2CSTA, INDPTR, I2CDAT, I2CCON); A1/A0 = 10 selects INDIRECT data field for indirect register access. |
| CE | Chip enable | Active-low enable for parallel bus transactions; places D0–D7 in high-impedance when deasserted - prevents bus contention during idle cycles. |
| WR, RD | Write/read strobes | Edge-triggered controls: WR rising edge latches data into addressed register; RD falling edge outputs register contents onto D0–D7. |
| INT | Interrupt request | Open-drain, active-low output signaling I²C state change (e.g., byte received, STOP detected); requires external pull-up to VDD or host rail. |
| RESET | Hardware reset | Active-low asynchronous reset clearing all registers and halting I²C state machine; debounced externally for noise immunity. |
| SCL, SDA | I²C-bus interface | Open-drain I²C lines supporting Fm+; require external pull-ups; 25 mA sink capability allows driving longer traces or multiple slaves. |
| VDD, VSS | Power supply | VDD = 2.3–3.6 V digital supply; VSS = ground reference; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm of pins for stable oscillator operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Parallel-to-I²C protocol conversion | Full hardware implementation of I²C master/slave logic - offloads bit-banging from host CPU and guarantees strict compliance with I²C specification timing (tSU;STA, tHD;STA, etc.). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel-to-I²C bridge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCA9665APW,118 | PCA9665A variant with 32 MHz oscillator (vs. 28.5 MHz), 'glitch-free' restart logic, and TSSOP20-only packaging - identical pinout and register map. | Preferred where restart reliability under noisy conditions is critical (e.g., motor drive gate drivers sharing same PCB); supports same Fm+ timing but tighter oscillator tolerance. | Select PCA9665APW,118 if restart integrity in electrically harsh environments outweighs minor cost premium over PCA9665PW,112. |
| PCA9564PW,118 | Legacy predecessor: supports only Standard/Fast-mode (400 kbit/s), 32-byte buffer, no General Call or software reset; shares SO20/TSSOP20 footprint but lacks Fm+ drive strength. | Suitable for low-speed, cost-sensitive designs where 1 MHz bandwidth and 68-byte buffering are unnecessary - e.g., simple EEPROM configuration reads. | Choose PCA9564PW,118 only for backward compatibility or where Fm+ features are unused; not drop-in for PCA9665PW,112 due to missing registers and reduced drive. |
Compared with PCA9564PW,118, the PCA9665PW,112 adds 150 % higher I²C throughput, doubles buffer depth, and introduces software-initiated recovery - making it essential for real-time sensor fusion. Versus PCA9665APW,118, it trades restart robustness for lower oscillator power and broader legacy compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C data rate supported by the PCA9665PW,112?
The PCA9665PW,112 supports Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) operation up to 1 Mbit/s. This is achieved via 25 mA sink capability on SCL and SDA pins, enabling reliable signaling on buses with higher capacitance or longer trace lengths. The internal oscillator (28.5 MHz) and programmable SCL LOW/HIGH period registers (I2CSCLL/I2CSCLH) allow precise timing calibration to meet Fm+ specifications under varying load conditions. PCA9665PW,112 achieves this without external timing components.
Does the PCA9665PW,112 require an external crystal or RC oscillator?
No, the PCA9665PW,112 integrates a trimmed internal oscillator operating at 28.5 MHz ±15 %, eliminating the need for external timing components. Startup completes within 550 µs after setting the ENSIO bit in the I2CCON register. This simplifies BOM, reduces PCB area, and improves reliability in vibration-prone or thermally cycling environments where crystals may drift or fail. PCA9665PW,112 uses this oscillator exclusively for all I²C timing generation.
How does the PCA9665PW,112 handle I²C bus arbitration in multi-master systems?
The PCA9665PW,112 implements hardware-based wired-AND arbitration per the I²C specification. When multiple masters initiate START simultaneously, the device monitors SDA during the address phase and automatically relinquishes bus control if it detects a mismatch between its transmitted address bit and the bus level. No firmware intervention is needed - the PCA9665PW,112 exits transmission, sets appropriate status bits (e.g., arbitration lost in I2CSTA), and asserts INT to notify the host CPU. PCA9665PW,112 resumes operation only after detecting a STOP condition.
Can the PCA9665PW,112 operate with a 5 V microcontroller parallel bus?
Yes, the PCA9665PW,112 features 5 V–tolerant parallel I/O pins (D0–D7, A0, A1, CE, WR, RD, INT, RESET), allowing direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry. Its core logic operates from 2.3 V–3.6 V (VDD), so only the parallel interface is 5 V–capable - SCL/SDA remain 3.3 V–domain I²C signals. This dual-voltage design makes PCA9665PW,112 ideal for upgrading legacy 5 V systems to I²C without redesigning the host MCU interface.
What is the function of the INDPTR register in the PCA9665PW,112?
INDPTR (Indirect Pointer register) is an 8-bit write-only direct register (A1=0, A0=0) that selects which of the seven indirect-addressed registers (e.g., I2CCOUNT, I2CADR, I2CSCLL) will be accessed next via the INDIRECT data field (A1=1, A0=0). Writing a value (00h–06h) to INDPTR configures subsequent reads/writes to the corresponding indirect register. This two-step addressing enables compact register mapping while keeping the parallel bus interface minimal. PCA9665PW,112 relies on INDPTR to configure clock timing, slave addressing, and buffer behavior.
