TPIC6C596DRG4

The TPIC6C596DRG4 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic, medium-voltage, low-current, 8-bit shift register. It is designed for systems requiring moderate load power, such as LED drivers. The device includes a built-in voltage clamp on its outputs for protection against inductive transients, making it suitable for power driver applications including relays, solenoids, and other low-current or medium-voltage loads.

This shift register features an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out configuration feeding 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). The TPIC6C596DRG4 operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Packaged in a 16-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface-mount package, this component offers an open-drain output type. Key features include a typical continuous output current of 100 mA, a current limit capability of 250 mA, and ESD protection up to 2500 V. It also boasts a typical avalanche energy rating of 30 mJ and a low typical R DS(on) of 7.39 Ω.

The TPIC6C596DRG4 is suitable for various applications requiring efficient load driving and control. Its design facilitates enhanced cascading for multiple stages and includes a single input for clearing all registers, simplifying control logic.
