MIC5841YWM

Using BiCMOS technology, the MIC5841 integrated circuits were fabricated to be used in a wide variety of peripheral power driver applications. The devices each have an eight-bit CMOS shift register, CMOS control circuitry, eight CMOS data latches, and eight bipolar current-sink Darlington output drivers. These two devices differ only in maximum voltage ratings. The drivers 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. These devices have improved speed characteristics. With a 5V logic supply, they will typically operate faster than 5 MHz. With a 12V supply, significantly higher speeds are obtained. The CMOS inputs are compatible with standard CMOS, PMOS, and NMOS logic levels. TTL or DTL circuits may require the use of appropriate pull-up resistors. By using the serial data output, the drivers can be cascaded for interface applications requiring additional drive lines. The MIC5841 family is available in DIP, PLCC, and SOIC packages.
