The TPIC6C596 is a serial-in parallel-out, Power+Logi?? 8-bit shift register with low-side
switch DMOS outputs rating of 100 mA per channel. The device is designed to drive resistive
and inductive loads and is particularly well suited as an interface between a microcontroller
and LEDs or lamps. The TPIC6C596 is an enhancement of the TPIC6C595, where the shift
register serial output (SER OUT) is clocked on the falling edge of the serial clock to provide
additional hold time in applications where several devices are cascaded. This report focuses
on three of the many possible applications for the TPIC6C596.
