PCA9552

Arduino library for PCA9552 I2C 8 bit PWM LED driver, 16 channel.

Description

This experimental library is to control the I2C PCA9552 PWM extender.

It is derived from the PCA9553 library and kept in sync if possible.

This device has two possible hardcoded I2C addresses 0x62 and 0x63, see table below. If you need to connect more PCA9552 devices to a single I2C bus you need a I2C multiplexer like https://github.com/RobTillaart/TCA9548.

The device has two PWM "generators", 0 and 1, and one can set the duty cycle and the frequency by means of a pre-scaler.

Every output channel 0..3 can select to which PWM generator it is connected, or if it is set to ON or OFF.

The output channels can also be used as generic GPIO, however that is not implemented in the first release.

From datasheet

Maximum output sink current is 25 mA per bit and 100 mA per package.

Power-On Reset (POR) initializes the registers to their default state, all zeroes, causing the bits to be set HIGH (LED off).

0.3.0 Breaking change

The version 0.3.0 has breaking changes in the interface. The rationale is that the programming environment of the Arduino ESP32 S3 board uses a remapping by means of the include file io_pin_remap.h. This file remaps the pins of several core Arduino functions. The remapping is implemented by #define macros and these implement "hard" text replacements without considering context. The effect is that methods from this class (and several others) which have the same name as those Arduino core functions will be remapped into something not working.

The following library functions have been renamed:

old name	new name	notes
analogRead()	read()
analogWrite()	write()
pinMode()	pinMode1()
digitalRead()	read1()
digitalWrite()	write1()

0.2.0 Breaking change

Version 0.2.0 introduced a breaking change. You cannot set the pins in begin() any more. This reduces the dependency of processor dependent Wire implementations. The user has to call Wire.begin() and can optionally set the Wire pins before calling begin().

Interface

#include "PCA9552.h"

Constructor

• PCA9552(uint8_t deviceAddress, TwoWire *wire = &Wire) Constructor with I2C device address, Address = 0x62 or 0x63. and optional the Wire interface as parameter.
• bool begin() initializes the library after startup. Returns true if device address is available on I2C bus.
• bool isConnected() checks if address is available on I2C bus.
• uint8_t getAddress() returns I2C address.
• uint8_t outputCount() returns the number of channels = 16.
• uint8_t reset() idem.

GPIO

• uint16_t getInput() read all current output levels.
• void pinMode1(uint8_t pin, uint8_t mode) set output pin to INPUT or OUTPUT.
• void write1(uint8_t pin, uint8_t value) set output pin HIGH or LOW.
• uint8_t read1(uint8_t pin) read current state of output pin.

Prescaler Frequency

Get and set the pre-scaler of the PWM generator.

• void setPrescaler(uint8_t gen, uint8_t psc = 255) set pre-scaler for generator, default 255.
• uint8_t getPrescaler(uint8_t gen) get the set value.

gen = 0 or 1

The main oscillator frequency can be divided by a pre-scaler. The period of BLINK = (PSC + 1) / 44 This gives the output a blink range of 0.172 Hz to 44 Hz.

Some "magic" pre-scalers. (to be confirmed).

psc	Period	Frequency
0	0.0227	44.00 Hz
1	0.0455	22.00 Hz
3	0.0909	11.00 Hz
7	0.1818	5.50 Hz
10	0.250	4.00 Hz
21	0.500	2.00 Hz
43	1.000	1.00 Hz
87	2.000	0.50 Hz
175	4.000	0.25 Hz
219	5.000	0.20 Hz
255	5.818	0.172 Hz

PWM

Get and set the duty cycle of the PWM generator.

• void setPWM(uint8_t gen, uint8_t psc = 128) set PWM for generator, default value = 128.
• uint8_t getPWM(uint8_t gen) get the set value.

gen = 0 or 1

The duty cycle of BLINK = (256 - PWM) / 256

pwm	Duty Cycle
0	0%
64	25%
128	50%
192	75%
255	100%

Note: one might need a Gamma brightness correction - https://github.com/RobTillaart/GAMMA

Output Mode

• uint8_t setOutputMode(uint8_t pin, uint8_t mode) set the mode for the selected output pin to one of 4 modi operandi. See table below.
  • pin == 0..15, mode == 0..3, see table below.
  • returns 0 if OK
  • returns error code if parameter is out of range.
• uint8_t getOutputMode(uint8_t led) returns current setting.
  • pin == 0..15
  • returns mode, see table below.
  • returns error code if parameter is out of range.

Define	Value	Output pin
PCA9552_MODE_LOW	0	is set LOW (LED on)
PCA9552_MODE_HIGH	1	is set high-impedance (LED off; default)
PCA9552_MODE_PWM0	2	blinks at PWM0 rate
PCA9552_MODE_PWM1	3	blinks at PWM1 rate

Power On Reset

The PCA9552 will keep its settings as long as it is powered on. This means it can start with an previous configuration when uploading two different sketches short after each other.

To handle this the library has a reset() function which sets the device in the Power On state.

Error codes

These are kept similar to PCA9635 et al error codes.

Error code	Value	Description
PCA9552_OK	0x00	Everything went well
PCA9552_ERROR	0xFF	Generic error
PCA9552_ERR_WRITE	0xFE
PCA9552_ERR_CHAN	0xFD	output pin out of range / channel error
PCA9552_ERR_MODE	0xFC	mode parameter out of range.
PCA9552_ERR_REG	0xFB
PCA9552_ERR_I2C	0xFA
