NPIC6C596ABQ-Q100X

Shift Registers Overview

The NPIC6C596ABQ-Q100X is an automotive-qualified, power logic 8-bit serial-in/serial or parallel-out shift register featuring open-drain outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V and supports ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C. The device includes eight extended-drain NMOS (EDNMOS) transistor outputs capable of 100 mA continuous current with a 250 mA limit. It provides a 33 V output clamping voltage and 30 mJ avalanche energy capability. The component utilizes a DHVQFN16 package (SOT763-1) with side-wettable flanks for automatic optical inspection.

Shift Registers Feature Summary

• Automotive qualification in accordance with AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standard
• Eight power EDNMOS outputs designed for moderate load power applications
• Integrated voltage clamps providing protection against inductive transients
• Enhanced cascading capability with separate clocks for shift and storage registers

Shift Registers Applications

• LED sign systems
• Graphic status panels
• Fault status indicators

Shift Registers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'X' corresponds to the DHVQFN16 package variant as defined in the ordering information table. Confirm that the intended operating temperature range aligns with the specified -40 °C to +125 °C limits. Ensure design safeguards are implemented to manage thermal dissipation within the DHVQFN16 package constraints during operation.

Shift Registers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing automotive-grade circuits requiring serial-to-parallel conversion with high-current drive capabilities. The open-drain architecture suits applications needing voltage level shifting or driving medium-voltage loads like relays and solenoids. Verify compatibility with system clock frequencies up to the maximum specified rate under cascaded conditions.

Shift Registers Part Context

This part belongs to the NPIC6C596A-Q100 family of power logic shift registers manufactured by Nexperia. It shares functional similarities with other variants in the series but is distinguished by its specific DHVQFN16 packaging. The family is engineered for robust performance in demanding environments, offering low on-state resistance and comprehensive ESD protection mechanisms.

Shift Registers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include NPIC6C596AD-Q100 and NPIC6C596APW-Q100, which offer identical electrical specifications in SO16 and TSSOP16 packages respectively. Ensure mechanical footprint differences are accommodated if replacing the DHVQFN16 version with these alternatives.
