STPIC6C595MTR

Overview

The STPIC6C595MTR is a monolithic, medium-voltage, low-current power 8-bit shift register designed for moderate load power applications such as LEDs. It features an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register feeding an 8-bit D-type storage register. The device includes built-in voltage clamping on outputs for inductive transient protection and supports cascading via a serial output port. It operates with supply voltages between 4.5V and 5.5V and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Eight open-drain DMOS outputs providing 100 mA continuous sink-current capability
• Built-in voltage clamp for inductive transient protection
• Low R DS(on) characteristic for efficient power driving
• Device cascadability through serial output port

Applications

• LED lighting systems
• Relay driver circuits
• Solenoid control applications
• Low-current or medium-voltage load driving

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix MTR corresponds to tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm that the component meets Ecopack2 RoHS compliance requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the SO-16 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint design. Check for any recent product change notices regarding manufacturing location or material composition updates.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring medium-voltage power switching with serial data control. It is suitable where moderate load currents up to 100 mA per channel are needed. Consider the integrated clamp feature if driving inductive loads without external protection components. Evaluate thermal performance given the current limit decreases at higher junction temperatures.

Part Context

This part belongs to the STPIC6C595 family of power logic shift registers from STMicroelectronics. It serves as a bridge between low-voltage digital logic and higher-power analog loads. The device integrates both shift and storage registers to manage data flow efficiently. It is characterized for industrial-grade operation across a wide temperature range.
