1. General description
The PCA9539; PCA9539R is a 24-pin CMOS device that provides 16 bits of General
Purpose parallel Input/Output (GPIO) expansion with interrupt and reset for
I
2
C-bus/SMBus applications and was developed to enhance the NXP Semiconductors
family of I
2
C-bus I/O expanders. I/O expanders provide a simple solution when additional
I/O is needed for ACPI power switches, sensors, push buttons, LEDs, fans, etc.
The PCA9539; PCA9539R consists of two 8-bit configuration (input or output selection),
input, output and polarity inversion (active HIGH or active LOW operation) registers. The
system master can enable the I/Os as either inputs or outputs by writing to the I/O
configuration bits. The data for each input or output is kept in the corresponding Input or
Output register. The polarity of the read register can be inverted with the Polarity inversion
register. All registers can be read by the system master.
The PCA9539; PCA9539R is identical to the PCA9555 except for the removal of the
internal I/O pull-up resistor which greatly reduces power consumption when the I/Os are
held LOW, replacement of A2 with RESET and a different address range.
The PCA9539; PCA9539R open-drain interrupt output is activated when any input state
differs from its corresponding input port register state and is used to indicate to the system
master that an input state has changed.
The power-on reset sets the registers to their default values and initializes the device state
machine. In the PCA9539, the RESET pin causes the same reset/default I/O input
configuration to occur without de-powering the device, holding the registers and I

C-bus
state machine in their default state until the RESET input is once again HIGH. This input
requires a pull-up to V
DD
. In the PCA9539R however, only the device state machine is
initialized by the RESET pin and the internal general-purpose registers remain
unchanged. Using the PCA9539R RESET pin will only reset the I
2
C-bus interface should
it be stuck LOW to regain access to the I
2
C-bus. This allows the I/O pins to retain their last
configured state so that they can keep any lines in their previously defined state and not
cause system errors while the I
2
C-bus is being restored.
Two hardware pins (A0, A1) vary the fixed I
2
C-bus address and allow up to four devices to
share the same I
2
C-bus/SMBus.

be connected to supply ground for proper device operation. For enhanced thermal, electrical, and board
level performance, the exposed pad needs to be soldered to the board using a corresponding thermal pad
on the board and for proper heat conduction through the board, thermal vias need to be incorporated in the
PCB in the thermal pad region.
