Fig 22. Cascaded PCF8533 configuration
The SYNC line is provided to maintain the correct synchronization between all cascaded
PCF8533s. This synchronization is guaranteed after the power-on reset. The only time
that SYNC is likely to be needed is if synchronization is accidentally lost (e.g. by noise in
adverse electrical environments, or by the definition of a multiplex mode when PCF8533s
with different SA0 levels are cascaded).
SYNC is organized as an input/output pin; the output selection being realized as an
open-drain driver with an internal pull-up resistor. A PCF8533 asserts the SYNC line at the
onset of its last active backplane signal and monitors the SYNC line at all other times.
Should synchronization in the cascade be lost, it will be restored by the first PCF8533 to
assert SYNC. The timing relationships between the backplane waveforms and the SYNC
signal for the various drive modes of the PCF8533 are shown in Figure 23.
