NPIC6C596APWJ

Shift Registers Overview

The NPIC6C596APWJ is an 8-bit serial-in/serial or parallel-out shift register with open-drain outputs, manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V and supports an ambient temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C. The device features eight Power EDNMOS transistor outputs capable of 100 mA continuous current and 250 mA current limit capability. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 97 ns (typical) and an output clamping voltage of 33 V. It is housed in a TSSOP-16 package.

Shift Registers Feature Summary

• Eight extended-drain NMOS outputs designed for moderate load power applications
• Integrated voltage clamps provide protection against inductive transients
• Separate clocks for shift and storage registers enable enhanced cascading
• Asynchronous master reset input clears both registers simultaneously

Shift Registers Applications

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

Shift Registers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Nexperia channels. Confirm the specific suffix 'PWJ' matches the required TSSOP-16 packaging and reel specifications. Check for end-of-life status as indicated by distributor records. Ensure design compliance with the absolute maximum ratings defined in the official datasheet before integration.

Shift Registers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high-voltage tolerant open-drain outputs driven by standard logic levels. The wide supply range accommodates various system voltages. Consider the thermal dissipation requirements for the TSSOP-16 package when driving multiple outputs at high currents. Verify that the asynchronous reset functionality meets the system initialization requirements.

Shift Registers Part Context

This part belongs to the NPIC6C596A family of power logic shift registers. The 'PWJ' suffix denotes the TSSOP-16 plastic thin shrink small outline package variant. It shares functional characteristics with other packages in the series, such as SO16 and DHVQFN16, but differs in physical dimensions and thermal performance.

Shift Registers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include NPIC6C596AD (SO16) and NPIC6C596ABQ (DHVQFN16). Verify package footprint compatibility and thermal management capabilities when substituting. Automotive qualified variants like NPIC6C596APW-Q100J offer similar functionality with additional qualification standards.
