MIC5841YN

The MIC5841YN is a serial-input Latched Driver uses BiCMOS technology. It is fabricated to be used in a wide variety of peripheral power driver applications. The device has an 8-bit CMOS shift register, CMOS control circuitry, eight CMOS data latches and eight bipolar current-sink Darlington output drivers. The driver can be operated with a split supply where the negative supply is down to -20V. The 500mA outputs with integral transient-suppression diodes are suitable for use with lamps, relays, solenoids and other inductive loads. This device has improved speed characteristics. With a 5V logic supply, it will typically operate faster than 5MHz. With a 12V supply, significantly higher speeds are obtained. The CMOS inputs are compatible with standard CMOS, PMOS and NMOS logic levels. By using the serial data output, the driver can be cascaded for interface applications requiring additional drive lines.
