TPIC6A595NE datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPIC6A595NE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of the clock signal that can be used with the TPIC6A595NE?
  The maximum frequency of the clock signal that can be used with the TPIC6A595NE is 30 MHz.
• How do I ensure that the output pins are in a high-impedance state during power-up or reset?
  To ensure that the output pins are in a high-impedance state during power-up or reset, connect the OE (output enable) pin to VCC through a pull-up resistor. This will keep the outputs in a high-impedance state until the device is fully powered up and configured.
• What is the maximum current that can be sourced or sunk by each output pin?
  Each output pin of the TPIC6A595NE can source up to 100 mA and sink up to 150 mA.
• How do I handle the situation where the serial input data is not aligned with the clock signal?
  To handle the situation where the serial input data is not aligned with the clock signal, use the SRCLK (shift register clock) pin to synchronize the data with the clock signal. This ensures that the data is properly latched into the shift register.
• What is the purpose of the RCLR (reset) pin, and how do I use it?
  The RCLR (reset) pin is used to asynchronously reset the shift register and output latch. To use it, connect the RCLR pin to a logic low signal to reset the device. This can be useful in applications where the device needs to be reset to a known state.
