Product details
Overview
PCA9675PW/S911,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a 16-bit remote I/O expander for Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) I²C-bus systems, providing quasi-bidirectional port expansion with interrupt signaling. It operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V, supports 1 MHz I²C-bus speed, delivers 25 mA sink per I/O pin, and features 400 mA total package sink capacity-enabling direct LED PWM dimming in signage and industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PCA9675PW/S911,118 datasheet, PCA9675PW/S911,118 pinout, PCA9675PW/S911,118 application, or PCA9675PW/S911,118 equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in upgrade to PCF8575 with higher bus speed, greater drive strength, expanded address space (64 options), and integrated interrupt output for efficient microcontroller offloading in resource-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The PCA9675PW/S911,118 implements a quasi-bidirectional I/O architecture where all 16 pins (P00–P07, P10–P17) default to high-impedance inputs at power-up and support latched output mode. Its I²C interface complies with Standard-mode (100 kHz), Fast-mode (400 kHz), and Fast-mode Plus (1 MHz) specifications, with SDA capable of sinking 30 mA into 4000 pF buses.
It integrates an active-low open-drain interrupt (INT) that asserts on any input edge change, enabling asynchronous event notification without polling. Internal Power-On Reset initializes registers and I/Os, while software reset via General Call address 00h + data byte 06h allows bus-wide recovery without hardware reset.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| I²C Bus Speed | 1 MHz Fast-mode Plus - enables real-time LED dimming control and reduces I/O polling latency vs. 400 kHz alternatives. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V - interoperable with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Per-Pin Sink Current | 25 mA - sufficient to directly drive standard LEDs without external drivers. |
| Total Package Sink | 400 mA - supports simultaneous illumination of 16 × 25 mA LEDs at full brightness. |
| Slave Addresses | 64 programmable options via AD0–AD2 - eliminates address conflicts in multi-device I²C networks. |
| Interrupt Output | Active-low open-drain INT - connects directly to MCU interrupt pins for event-driven I/O monitoring. |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM / 1000 V CDM - meets industrial reliability requirements for board-level handling and operation. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP24 package (SOT355-1), 24-pin plastic thin shrink small outline, 4.4 mm body width. Exposed pad not present; standard thermal dissipation via PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INT (Pin 1) | Interrupt output | Active-low open-drain signal notifying MCU of I/O state changes; requires external pull-up. |
| AD1 (Pin 2), AD2 (Pin 3), AD0 (Pin 21) | Slave address inputs | Binary-select 64 I²C addresses; no internal pull-ups - must be hard-wired to VDD/VSS or controlled externally. |
| P00–P07 (Pins 4–11), P10–P17 (Pins 13–20) | Quasi-bidirectional I/O ports | 16 independent pins; default to inputs at power-up; sink up to 25 mA each with latched output capability. |
| VDD (Pin 24), VSS (Pin 12) | Power supply | Supports 2.3–5.5 V operation; I/Os tolerant to 5.5 V regardless of VDD level. |
| SCL (Pin 22), SDA (Pin 23) | I²C bus interface | Compliant with Fm+ timing; SDA sinks 30 mA - reduces need for bus buffers in large-node systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1 MHz I²C-bus interface | Enables faster I/O updates than PCF8575 (400 kHz), critical for responsive LED dimming and real-time status reporting. |
| 64 programmable slave addresses | Eliminates address collisions in dense I²C systems (e.g., server backplanes with >8 expanders), unlike PCF8575's 8-address limit. |
| 400 mA total sink capacity | Allows all 16 outputs to drive 25 mA LEDs simultaneously - supports full-panel signage without current-sharing circuitry. |
| Readable Device ID | 24-bit read-only field (manufacturer + part ID + revision) simplifies firmware validation and BOM traceability in production. |
| Software reset via General Call | Bus-wide reset using I²C address 00h + data 06h - recovers hung devices without power cycle or MCU GPIO intervention. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar remote I/O expander applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCF8575PW,118 | Max 400 kHz I²C, 3 mA SDA drive, 100 mA total sink, only 8 slave addresses. | Limited to low-speed, low-current I/O expansion; unsuitable for LED dimming or dense bus topologies. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs performance needs and bus node count is ≤8. |
| PCA9674PW,118 | Same package and pinout, but 8-bit I/O (vs. 16-bit); identical 1 MHz speed and 25 mA/pin drive. | Half the I/O count - appropriate for compact designs needing fewer signals but same timing/performance. | Choose for space-constrained layouts where 8 I/Os suffice and PCB reuse with PCA9675 is desired. |
Compared with PCF8575PW,118, PCA9675PW/S911,118 delivers 2.5× faster bus throughput and 4× higher current drive; versus PCA9674PW,118, it doubles I/O count while maintaining identical timing, drive, and footprint compatibility - making it optimal for scalable, high-density I²C I/O expansion.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C-bus speed supported by the PCA9675PW/S911,118?
The PCA9675PW/S911,118 supports Fast-mode Plus (Fm+) I²C operation up to 1 MHz, significantly exceeding the 400 kHz limit of PCF8575. This higher speed enables faster I/O configuration updates and real-time LED dimming control without bus bottlenecks. The device remains backward-compatible with Standard-mode (100 kHz) and Fast-mode (400 kHz) hosts, ensuring seamless integration across legacy and next-generation systems.
How does the interrupt (INT) pin function on the PCA9675PW/S911,118?
The PCA9675PW/S911,118 features an active-low open-drain INT pin that asserts whenever any of its 16 I/O pins transitions (rising or falling edge). This allows the microcontroller to respond asynchronously to input changes without continuous polling. The interrupt clears automatically upon reading the affected port or writing new output data - eliminating the need for explicit deassert commands in firmware.
Can the PCA9675PW/S911,118 directly drive LEDs, and what current capability does it provide?
Yes, the PCA9675PW/S911,118 can directly drive LEDs: each of its 16 quasi-bidirectional I/O pins sinks up to 25 mA, and the total package sink capacity is 400 mA. This allows simultaneous full-brightness operation of all 16 outputs - ideal for LED signage, status indicators, and gaming panel lamps without external driver transistors or current-limiting resistors on the source side.
What are the voltage operating ranges and I/O tolerance specifications for the PCA9675PW/S911,118?
The PCA9675PW/S911,118 operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V on VDD and features 5.5 V-tolerant I/Os - meaning all port pins, SDA, SCL, AD0–AD2, and INT remain functional and safe even when interfaced with 5 V logic, regardless of whether VDD is 3.3 V or 5 V. This simplifies mixed-voltage system design and eliminates level-shifters in many common configurations.
How many I²C slave addresses does the PCA9675PW/S911,118 support, and how are they configured?
The PCA9675PW/S911,118 supports 64 unique I²C slave addresses, selected via three hardware address pins (AD0, AD1, AD2). Each pin accepts VDD or VSS (no internal pull-ups), yielding 2³ = 8 combinations - but combined with the fixed 7-bit base address (00100xx), the full range spans hex 20h to BEh. This eliminates address conflicts in complex systems with multiple expanders, unlike the PCF8575's 8-address limit.
