TPIC6B595N DIP IC

Description

The TPIC6B595N is an integrated circuit (IC) that belongs to the TPICxx series of devices, and it is commonly used for driving and controlling outputs in various electronic applications. Specifically, the TPIC6B595N is a shift register with high current power logic. Here are the key features and details of the TPIC6B595N IC:

1. **Shift Register:** The TPIC6B595N serves as a shift register, which is a device that allows you to serially input data and then shift it out in parallel. It can be used to control multiple outputs, such as LEDs or other digital devices.

2. **Output Driver:** This IC also features high-current output drivers, which means it can handle larger loads, making it suitable for driving components that require more power than a typical microcontroller pin can provide.

3. **Serial Input:** The TPIC6B595N accepts serial input data. You can cascade multiple TPIC6B595N devices to control an even larger number of outputs by serially shifting in the data.

4. **Cascading:** The TPIC6B595N can be daisy-chained with other TPIC6B595N devices to extend the number of outputs. By connecting the serial output of one TPIC6B595N to the serial input of another, you can control a large number of devices in parallel.

5. **Latch Enable:** The IC includes a Latch Enable (LE) pin, which is used to latch and hold the data before shifting it to the output. This feature allows synchronized updates of the outputs.

6. **Serial Clock:** A Serial Clock (SRCK) input is used to shift data into the shift register. The SRCK input is clocked to control the shifting of data.

7. **Serial Data:** The serial data (SER) input is where you input your data that will be shifted into the shift register.

8. **Output Enable:** The Output Enable (OE) input is used to enable or disable the outputs. When OE is low, the outputs are enabled, and when OE is high, the outputs are disabled.

9. **Voltage Compatibility:** The TPIC6B595N is designed to work with 3.3V or 5V logic levels, making it compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers and digital systems.

10. **Package:** The TPIC6B595N is typically available in a Dual In-Line Package (DIP), which is a through-hole package with multiple pins that can be easily inserted into a breadboard or soldered onto a PCB.

11. **Applications:** The TPIC6B595N is used in various applications, including controlling LEDs, driving relays, and managing other high-current devices in digital circuits.

The TPIC6B595N is a useful IC for expanding the number of outputs in your digital projects while providing the capability to drive higher-power loads. It is commonly used in applications where controlling multiple outputs is required, such as LED displays, multiplexing, and other projects involving large numbers of digital devices.
