3 Description
The TLC6C5912 is a monolithic, medium-voltage,
low-current power 12-bit shift register designed for
use in systems that require relatively moderate load
power, such as LEDs.
This device contains a 12-bit serial-in, parallel-out
shift register that feeds a 12-bit D-type storage
register. Data transfers through both the shift and
storage registers on the rising edge of the shift-
register clock (SRCK) and the register clock (RCK),
respectively. The storage register transfers data to
the output buffer when shift register clear (CLR) is
high. A low on CLR clears all registers in the device.
Holding the output enable (G) high holds all data in
the output buffers low, and all drain outputs are off.
Holding G low makes data from the storage register
transparent to the output buffers.
This device contains a 12-bit serial-in, parallel-out
shift register that feeds a 12-bit D-type storage
register. Separate clocks are provided for both the
shift and storage registers.
Outputs are low-side, open-drain DMOS transistors
with output ratings of 40 V and 50-mA continuous
sink-current OR 200-mA PWM current with single-
pulse duration less than 1 ms and average current
less than 50 mA capabilities when V
CC
= 5 V. The
device contains built-in thermal shutdown protection
and provides up to 2000 V of ESD protection when
tested using the human-body model and the 200-V
machine model.
The TLC6C5912 characterization is for operation over
the ambient temperature range of −40°C to 105°C.
