TPIC6C596DG4

Overview

The TPIC6C596DG4 is an automotive-grade, high-voltage DMOS shift register manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a serial-to-serial/parallel data path with registered parallel outputs and unregistered serial shift-right outputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports propagation delays of up to 80 ns. Designed for robust performance, it functions across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. The component is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package and meets AEC-Q100 qualification standards for automotive applications.

Feature Summary

• Automotive-grade reliability compliant with AEC-Q100 standards
• High-voltage DMOS output technology for direct load driving
• Registered parallel outputs ensuring stable data latching

Applications

• Automotive lighting control systems
• High-side load switching in vehicle electronics
• Industrial motor driver interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G4' indicates lead-free compliance and RoHS adherence as per Texas Instruments documentation. Confirm the package type matches the required PCB footprint. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +125°C thermal limits. Validate that the 5.5 V maximum supply voltage aligns with the system power design. Check for any specific automotive quality certifications required by the end application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when automotive qualification and high-voltage DMOS capabilities are required. It is suitable for applications needing registered parallel outputs to prevent glitching. Consider the 16-pin SOIC package for surface-mount assembly constraints. Evaluate the 80 ns propagation delay against system timing requirements. Ensure the 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range matches the available power rail.

Part Context

The TPIC6C596DG4 belongs to the TPIC6C596 series of high-voltage DMOS shift registers. This series is designed for driving inductive loads such as lamps and solenoids directly. The DG4 variant specifically denotes a lead-free, RoHS-compliant version in a small-outline integrated circuit package. It serves as a bridge between low-voltage logic controllers and high-power automotive or industrial loads.

Replacement Considerations

Check for other TPIC6C596 variants with different suffixes (e.g., N, DR) if package changes are acceptable. Verify functional compatibility with similar high-voltage DMOS shift registers from other manufacturers. Ensure pinout and electrical characteristics match before substitution.
