NPIC6C596BQ-Q100,1

Shift Registers Overview

The NPIC6C596BQ-Q100 is an automotive-grade, 8-bit serial-in/serial or parallel-out shift register with open-drain outputs. It features separate clocks for the shift and storage registers, a serial input (DS), and a serial output (Q7S) for cascading. The device includes an asynchronous master reset (MR) and an active-LOW output enable (OE). The outputs utilize extended-drain NMOS transistors rated for 33 V drain-source voltage and 100 mA continuous current, with integrated clamping for inductive transient protection.

Shift Registers Feature Summary

• Automotive qualification to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standard
• Eight power EDNMOS outputs with 33 V breakdown and 100 mA continuous current capability
• Integrated avalanche energy handling of 30 mJ for inductive load protection
• DHVQFN package with side-wettable flanks enabling automatic optical inspection

Shift Registers Applications

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

Shift Registers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific DHVQFN16 package variant matches the design footprint requirements. Confirm that the system design accounts for the thermal dissipation characteristics of the SOT763-1 package outline under maximum operating temperatures. Ensure supply chain sources provide documentation confirming AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance for automotive deployment.

Shift Registers Selection Notes

Select this component when an automotive-qualified shift register with high-voltage open-drain outputs is required. The DHVQFN16 package offers a compact form factor suitable for space-constrained designs. Consider the 33 V output rating and internal clamping when driving inductive loads such as relays or solenoids without external protection components.

Shift Registers Part Context

This part belongs to the NPIC6C596-Q100 family of power logic shift registers manufactured by Nexperia. It shares functional similarities with other variants in the series but utilizes the DHVQFN16 package (SOT763-1) instead of SO16 or TSSOP16 options. The family is designed for moderate load power applications requiring robust output stages.

Shift Registers FAQ

How does the device handle inductive transients?

The outputs feature integrated voltage clamps and support 30 mJ of single-pulse avalanche energy, providing protection against inductive transients from loads like relays and solenoids.

What is the function of the OE pin?

The Output Enable (OE) pin controls the state of the open-drain outputs. A LOW signal activates the outputs, while a HIGH signal places them in a high-impedance OFF-state without affecting the register contents.
