NPIC6C596A Power logic 8-bit shift register; open-drain outputs Rev. 1 — 23 October 2013 Product data sheet 1. General description The NPIC6C596A is an 8-bit serial-in/serial or parallel-out shift register with a storage register and open-drain outputs. Both the shift and storage register have separate clocks. The device features a serial input (DS) and a serial output (Q7S) to enable cascading and an asynchronous reset MR input. A LOW on MR resets both the shift register and storage register. Data is shifted on the LOW-to-HIGH transitions of the SHCP input. The data in the shift register is transferred to the storage register on a LOW-to-HIGH transition of the STCP input. If both clocks are connected together, the shift register is always one clock pulse ahead of the storage register. To provide additional hold time in cascaded applications, the serial output QS7 is clocked out on the falling edge of SHCP. Data in the storage register drives the gate of the output extended-drain NMOS (EDNMOS) transistor whenever the output enable input (OE) is LOW. A HIGH on OE causes the outputs to assume a high-impedance OFF-state. Operation of the OE input does not affect the state of the registers. The open-drain outputs are 33 V/100 mA continuous current extended-drain NMOS transistors designed for use in systems that require moderate load power such as LEDs. Integrated voltage clamps in the outputs provide protection against inductive transients. These voltage clamps make the devic...
