TPIC6C595N

Overview

The TPIC6C595N is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register manufactured by Texas Instruments. It utilizes DMOS technology and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. The device features open-drain outputs suitable for driving external loads. It is housed in a 16-pin PDIP package designed for through-hole mounting. The component supports unidirectional data shifting and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates eight DMOS output stages capable of handling high-current loads directly.
• Provides registered parallel outputs while maintaining unregistered serial shift-right functionality.
• Features open-drain output configuration for flexible interfacing with various load types.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring direct drive capabilities
• High-voltage LED matrix displays
• Relay driver circuits in automation equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' confirms the 16-pin PDIP package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation. Ensure the supplier provides the correct datasheet revision matching the production batch. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against authorized distributor lists to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when through-hole assembly is required for robust mechanical stability. Choose this part over surface-mount variants if PCB layout constraints favor DIP packages. Consider the open-drain output structure for applications needing external pull-up resistors or level shifting. Verify current requirements align with the DMOS output capabilities before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This device belongs to the TPIC6 series of shift registers, which are optimized for driving high-power loads. The series integrates logic control with power output stages in a single package. This specific model represents the PDIP version, distinguishing it from SOIC or TSSOP alternatives within the same functional family.

Replacement Considerations

TPIC6C595PWR serves as a pin-compatible surface-mount alternative. SN74ACT596PWR offers parameter equivalence for different logic families. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substituting with these listed parts.
