Abstract
I2C, PCA9633, RGB, RGBA, 2 x 8-bit PWM
The OM6282 is an add-on to NXP’s I2C 2005 -1 demo board. This daughter
board makes it easy to test and design with the PCA9633, a 4-bit Fast-mode
Plus (Fm+) LED driver. These boards, along with the I2CUSB Lite GUI
(PC based), provide an easy to use evaluation platform.

PCA9633 demonstration board OM6282
1. Introduction
The PCA9633 evaluation board features LEDs for color mixing, blinking and dimming
demonstrations. A graphical interface allows the user to easily explore the different
functions of the driver. The board can be connected in series with other I2C demo-boards
to create an evaluation system.
The IC communicates to the host via the industry standard I2C-bus/SMBus port. The
evaluation software runs under MicroSoft Windows PC platform.
2. Features
• A complete evaluation platform for the PCA9633 4-bit LED driver
• Easy to use GUI based software demonstrates the capabilities of the PCA9633
• On-board LEDs for visual experience
• Convenient test points for easy scope measurements and signal access
• USB interface to the host PC
• No external power supply required
3. Getting started
3.1 Assumptions
Familiarity with the I2C-bus is helpful but not required.
3.2 Static handling requirements
CAUTION
This device is sensitive to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). Therefore care should be taken
during transport and handling. You must use a ground strap or touch the PC case or other
grounded source before unpacking or handling the hardware.
3.3 Minimum system requirements
• PC Pentium 60 processor (or equivalent), 8 MB RAM, 10 MB of hard drive space
• One USB port (either 2.0 or 1.1 compatible)
• Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, or Vista
• I2C 2005-1 demonstration board (OM6275)
3.4 Power requirements
The NXP demonstration board I2C 2005-1 and OM6282 hardware obtain power from the
PC USB port. Care should be taken not to exceed the USB port current capabilities.

4. Installation
4.1 I2C 2005-1 board and WIN-12CUSB Lite software
The OM6282 is a daughter card to the OM6275 I2C 2005-1 demo board. You may
download the WIN-I2CUSB Lite Software, the OM6275 user manual UM10206, and find
ordering information at the NXP web site
4.2 OM6282 connection to I2C 2005-1 board
The I2C 2005-1 demo board should be disconnected from your PC before mounting the
OM6281 board on to it. The OM6282 board has a 9-pin female connector that connects to
the JP1 male connector on the I2C 2005-1 board.
With both boards facing you, connect the OM6282 board to the I2C 2005-1 board before
connecting the USB cable. Once the board is connected, connect the USB cable and start
the WIN-I2CUSB Lite software. You are now ready to evaluate the PCA9633.

The OM6282 board has 3 jumper headers:
• J1 is for connection to JP1 on I2C 2005-1 demo board.
• J2 allows an external OE to be connected to the board.
• J3 is for pass-through signals from the I2C 2005-1 demo board.
• IC2 is an unpopulated area for signal access. All address, I2C, LED signals are
available.

8.2 Color mixing and blinking LEDS
following:
1. In the Mode 2 selection window, check the ‘Group Control’ box to change the mode to
blinking.
2. Select a color using the PWM cursors.
3. To set a blink cycle, use the GRPPWM cursor to select the duty cycle and use the
GRPFREQ to select the blink frequency.
4. For example, set the GRPPWM to 0x05 (1.95 % duty cycle) and the GRPFREQ to
5. Change the GRPPWM to 0x80 (50 % duty cycle) and the LED will be on for
0.5 seconds, repeating every second.
6. Change the color of the LEDs by selecting a different PWM value for each LED.
7. Set the GRPPWM to 0x52 (32 % duty cycle) and the GRPFREQ to 0x01
(0.08 second) and observe the pattern.
8. Change the PWMn values, GRPPWM and GRPFREQ values to create different blink
patterns.
9. Change the LEDOUT register on one LED output to be controlled only by its PWM, for
example, ‘LED1 controlled by PWM1’.
10. Change the blink rate and observe the results.
