NCA9536DQ-Q100

4-bit I²C and SMBus low-power I/O expander with configurable registers and interrupt

The NCA9536-Q100 is a 4-bit bidirectional I/O expander compliant with I²C and SMBus protocols, operating over a wide supply range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V. It enables remote GPIO expansion for microcontroller-based systems via a standard two-wire interface (SCL/SDA), supporting clock frequencies up to 1 MHz (Fast-Mode Plus).

Part of Nexperia’s advanced I²C-bus expander portfolio, the device is optimized for space-constrained applications requiring additional I/O such as LED control, button interfacing, sensor integration, status indication, and signal routing. Its compact form factor and low-power operation make it well-suited for consumer, industrial, and IoT designs.

The NCA9536-Q100 provides 4 bits in Configuration Register defining each I/O as input or output, 4 bits in Input Port Register capturing the logic state of input pins, 4 bits in Output Port Register controlling the output logic levels and 4 bits in Polarity Inversion Register allowing inversion of input logic (active HIGH or LOW). In addition, 2 bits in special function register are provided to disable the internal pull-up resistors and to configure P3 as an interrupt (INT) output.

The system controller configures the I/Os via the Configuration Register, accesses real-time data through the Input Port Register, and controls the outputs through the Output Port Registers. The Polarity Inversion Register allows flexible logic interpretation. All registers are accessible via the I²C interface.

The NCA9536-Q100 supports I²C General Call address (0x00), which upon receiving a specific reset command (0x06), to initiate a software-triggered reset. This is ideal for systems lacking hardware reset or requiring simultaneous reset of multiple devices. Additionally , Pin P3 can be configured as an interrupt output (INT), enabling efficient real-time input monitoring for applications like button interfaces or sensor events. Upon power-on reset, all registers are initialized to default states, and the internal state machine is set. The device features a fixed I²C-bus address, supporting single-device operation per bus.

The NCA9536-Q100 is fully qualified to the AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standard (-40 °C to +125 °C ambient operation) and is explicitly designed and validated for deployment in automotive electronics, including body control modules, infotainment systems, and Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) peripherals.

As a Nexperia customer you can order samples via our sales organization.

If you do not have a direct account with Nexperia our network of global and regional distributors is available and equipped to support you with Nexperia samples. Check out the list of official distributors.

How does it work?

The interactive datasheets are based on the Nexperia MOSFET precision electrothermal models. With our interactive datasheets you can simply specify your own conditions interactively. Start by changing the values of the conditions. You can do this by using the sliders in the condition fields. By dragging the sliders you will see how the MOSFET will perform at the new conditions set.
