1. General description

The NPIC6C595-Q100 is an 8-bit serial-in/serial or parallel-out shift register with a storage register

and open-drain outputs. Both the shift and storage register have separate clocks. The device

features a serial input (DS) and a serial output (Q7S) to enable cascading and an asynchronous

reset input (MR). A LOW on MR resets both the shift register and storage register. Data is shifted

on the LOW-to-HIGH transitions of the SHCP input. The data in the shift register is transferred to

the storage register on a LOW-to-HIGH transition of the STCP input and to the Q7S output on a

LOW-to-HIGH transition of the SHCP input. If both clocks are connected together, the shift register

is always one clock pulse ahead of the storage register. Data in the storage register drives the

gate of the output extended-drain NMOS transistor whenever the output enable input (OE) is LOW.

A HIGH on OE causes the outputs to assume a high-impedance OFF-state. Operation of the OE

input does not affect the state of the registers. The open-drain outputs are 33 V/100 mA continuous

current extended-drain NMOS transistors designed for use in systems that require moderate load

power such as LEDs.

Integrated voltage clamps in the outputs provide protection against inductive transients making

the device suitable for power driver applications such as relay, solenoids and other low-current or

medium-voltage loads.

This product has been qualified to the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) standard Q100

(Grade 1) and is suitable for use in automotive applications.
