STPIC6C595
Power Logic Device For LED Driving Applications

STPIC6C595Power Logics are logic devices with a power front-end embedded. Providing a direct control link to system electrical loads, they eliminate the use of both standard logic ICs and discrete power devices.

The STPIC6C595 is a monolithic, medium-voltage, low-current power 8-bit shift register designed for use in systems that require relatively moderate load power such as LEDs. The device contains a built-in voltage clamp on the outputs for inductive transient protection.

The logic functions of the STPIC6C595 consist of the logic functions existing in the high-speed CMOS (HCMOS) M74HC595 except the outputs are inverted relative to the HCMOS version. The eight DMOS switches are controlled from a single input, SER IN (serial input) and by an 8-bit serial word.

Each of the eight DMOS switches are equipped with an internal 33V drain-to-gate zener clamp that greatly enhances their capability to switch unclamped inductive loads.

Operating Modes
STPIC6C595The data is transferred through an 8-bit shift register on the rising edge of SRCK. The data in the shift register is latched to the outputs by the rising edges on RCK.

All outputs are placed in a high-impedance mode with a high level on G, but the data is not cleared from the storage register latches. CLR clears all data in the shift register only. SER OUT is provided at the last bit of the shift register to allow cascading in applications requiring more than eight DMOS switches.
