General Description

The MAX7315 I

2

C™-/SMBus-compatible serial interfaced

peripheral provides microprocessors with 8 I/O ports.
Each I/O port can be individually configured as either an
open-drain current-sinking output rated at 50mA at 5.5V,
or a logic input with transition detection. A ninth port can
be used for transition detection interrupt or as a general-
purpose output. The outputs are capable of directly dri-
ving LEDs, or providing logic outputs with external
resistive pullup up to 5.5V.

PWM current drive is integrated with 8 bits of control.
Four bits are global control and apply to all LED outputs
to provide coarse adjustment of current from fully off to
fully on in 14 intensity steps. Each output then has indi-
vidual 4-bit control, which further divides the globally
set current into 16 more steps. Alternatively, the current
control can be configured as a single 8-bit control that
sets all outputs at once.

The MAX7315 is pin and software compatible with the
PCA9534 and PCA9554(A).

Each output has independent blink timing with two blink
phases. All LEDs can be individually set to be on or off
during either blink phase, or to ignore the blink control.
The blink period is controlled by a register.

The MAX7315 is controlled through the 2-wire I

C/SMBus

serial interface, and can be configured to one of 64 I

C

addresses.
