Cost-effective up-integrated
LED driver
TI's TPIC6C595, an 8-bit shift register with 100 mA DMOS outputs, is a low-cost, monolithic IC designed for low-current, medium-voltage loads such as LEDs.
To prevent the outputs from over-current damage, the TPIC6C595 has current-limit capability, which decreases as the junction temperature increases for additional device protection. The outputs also provide snubber circuitry to protect the device from inductive flyback. Each input has transient protection for increased robustness making the device suited for ESD sensitive applications.
The TPIC6C595 offers a cost-effective up-integrated solution plus high reliability for switching LEDs or low-current incandescent bulbs. It is well suited for automotive applications such as instrumentation and heads-up displays and industrial applications such as moving signs and electronic games. The device is available in dual-line (N) and surface-mounted (D) packaging and is characterized for operation over extended temperature range.
