TPIC6C596N

Overview

The TPIC6C596N is an 8-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register from the Texas Instruments TPIC6 series. It features open-drain outputs and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The device supports a propagation delay of 15 ns and functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. Packaged in a 16-pin PDIP format, it utilizes through-hole mounting for integration into circuit designs requiring robust logic shifting capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Provides serial-to-parallel data conversion with registered parallel outputs
• Features open-drain output configuration suitable for driving external loads
• Supports right-shift counting direction for sequential data processing

Applications

• General-purpose logic shifting in industrial control systems
• Data expansion interfaces for microcontroller-based embedded designs
• Sequential control circuits requiring reliable signal registration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant matches the required PCB footprint, as the TPIC6C596N designation corresponds to the PDIP-16 through-hole configuration. Confirm that the open-drain output characteristics align with the load requirements of the target application. Ensure environmental specifications meet the operational temperature constraints of the intended deployment environment before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-circuit, 8-bit shift register with open-drain outputs is required for through-hole assembly. The device is appropriate for applications needing a 5.5 V maximum supply voltage and extended temperature operation. Consider the 15 ns propagation delay and serial input architecture when designing timing-critical logic paths or interfacing with standard digital communication protocols.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Texas Instruments TPIC6 family of counter shift registers. The family includes variants such as the TPIC6C595N and automotive-grade TPIC6C596DRQ1, which share similar logical functions but differ in packaging and qualification standards. The TPIC6C596N specifically denotes the general-purpose version housed in a 16-pin PDIP package, distinguishing it from surface-mount alternatives like the SOIC versions within the same product line.

Replacement Considerations

The TPIC6C595N serves as a functional equivalent within the same series, offering identical logical operations and pinout compatibility. Verify that any substitute maintains the open-drain output structure and PDIP-16 package dimensions to ensure seamless integration without requiring schematic or layout modifications.
