A6595KA-T

Overview

The A6595KA-T is an 8-bit serial-input DMOS power driver integrating a CMOS shift register, data latches, and control circuitry. It features eight low-side outputs with a minimum output clamp voltage of 50 V and a typical on-resistance of 1.3 Ω. The device supports a simultaneous output current of 250 mA across all channels. Designed for medium-current or high-voltage peripheral loads, it operates within a specified temperature range suitable for industrial applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 8-bit serial input shift register with accompanying data latches and control logic
• Provides eight DMOS power driver outputs capable of driving relays and solenoids
• Features low power consumption characteristics for efficient operation

Applications

• Relay driver circuits
• Solenoid control systems
• Medium-current peripheral power load management

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'KA' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component meets the required operating temperature range for the target application environment. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit serial interface is required to drive multiple low-side loads simultaneously. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy TPIC6595N and TPIC6595DW devices. Consider its 50 V clamp voltage and 250 mA total current capability when designing circuits for inductive loads such as relays or solenoids.

Part Context

The A6595 series belongs to Allegro MicroSystems' family of addressable and serial-input DMOS power drivers. These components are designed to simplify the control of peripheral power loads by combining logic and power stages in a single package. The KA variant specifically denotes the plastic DIP package configuration within this product line.

Replacement Considerations

The A6595KA-T is documented as a replacement for the TPIC6595N and TPIC6595DW parts. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters when substituting these legacy components.
