MIC59P60BWM

Overview

The MIC59P60BWM is an 8-bit serial-input protected latched driver manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a 20-SOIC package with a width of 7.50mm. The device operates as a high-voltage, high-current integrated circuit, supporting up to 80V and delivering 500mA per channel. It integrates CMOS data latches, bipolar Darlington transistor drivers, and control circuitry for common CLEAR, STROBE, and OUTPUT ENABLE functions. Built-in protections include transient, over current, thermal, and under voltage safeguards.

Feature Summary

• Integrates eight CMOS data latches with dedicated bipolar Darlington transistor drivers for each channel.
• Provides comprehensive protection against transient events, over current conditions, thermal issues, and under voltage scenarios.
• Supports split supply operation capabilities for flexible power management configurations.

Applications

• High-voltage peripheral driving in industrial automation systems
• Load switching applications requiring high current capacity
• Power distribution networks needing protected latch-based control

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number MIC59P60BWM against official Microchip Technology documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm the package type is 20-SOIC and check for RoHS compliance status. Ensure the component meets the specified operating temperature range of up to 85 °C. Validate that the device includes the required built-in protections such as thermal and over current safeguards before integration into the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit serial input interface is required for high-voltage load driving. The 500mA output capability suits applications demanding significant current per channel. Consider the 20-SOIC package for space-constrained designs. Verify compatibility with the system's logic levels for the serial input and control signals like CLEAR and STROBE.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC59P series of latch-based peripheral drivers from Microchip Technology. It is functionally similar to the MIC5801 but offers specific protection enhancements. The series is designed for robust industrial applications where reliable high-current switching and data latching are critical requirements.

Replacement Considerations

The MIC59P50BWM is a parallel-input variant within the same family. While it shares similar electrical characteristics, the input interface differs. Verify if the system supports parallel inputs before considering this substitute. No other direct substitutes are confirmed in public documentation.
