MIC5841BN

The MIC5841BN from Microchip Technology is an 8-bit serial-input latched driver utilizing BiCMOS technology. It is designed for a wide variety of peripheral power driver applications, featuring an eight-bit CMOS shift register, CMOS control circuitry, eight CMOS data latches, and eight bipolar current-sink Darlington output drivers.

This device offers 500mA outputs with integral transient-suppression diodes, making them suitable for loads such as lamps, relays, and solenoids. It operates with a single or split supply and is compatible with standard CMOS, PMOS, and NMOS logic levels, with TTL or DTL circuits potentially requiring pull-up resistors. The inputs are non-inverting, and the switch type is a latched driver.

The MIC5841BN is available in an 18-DIP package and is designed for through-hole mounting. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C (TA). The device supports a minimum data-input rate of 3.3 MHz and has a supply voltage range of 5V to 12V, with a typical supply current of 16mA.

With its high-voltage current-sink outputs and output transient-protection diodes, the MIC5841BN is well-suited for applications requiring robust peripheral driving capabilities. The serial data output allows for cascading drivers for interface applications needing additional drive lines.
