TPIC6C596D

The TPIC6C596D from Texas Instruments is a monolithic, medium-voltage, low-current, 8-bit shift register. It is suitable for systems requiring moderate load power, such as LED driving applications. The device includes a built-in voltage clamp on its outputs for protection against inductive transients.

Key electrical specifications include an operating voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. It features eight power DMOS transistor outputs capable of 100-mA continuous current and a 250-mA current limit capability. The device also offers ESD protection up to 2500 V and an output clamp voltage of 33 V.

This shift register is packaged in a 16-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface-mount component. It functions as a serial-in, parallel-out shift register that feeds an 8-bit D-type storage register. Data transfers occur on the rising edge of the shift register clock (SRCK) and the register clock (RCK). Enhanced cascading is supported for multiple stages, and all registers can be cleared with a single input. The device consumes low power.

Power driver applications for the TPIC6C596D include relays, solenoids, and other low-current or medium-voltage loads. Its design facilitates efficient operation in various electronic systems.
