Nexperia | NPIC6C595PW,118

Nexperia supplies various series of shift registers which enable designers of LED lighting systems to save space by using a compact, low-cost microcontroller to control the power supply to multiple LEDs. Suitable shift registers from Nexperia for this application include standard 8-bit devices such as the popular 74HC595, and also the newer NPIC6C series, which offers more advanced features.

NPIC6C is a series of simple, multiple-output power-converter devices, ‘shift registers’, which may be used to drivemultiple LEDs.

The NPIC6C devices are suitable for driving strings of low-power LEDs in applications such as signage and fault indicators. The NPIC6C is not suitable for the high-power LEDs used in general lighting.

Applicatons:

• Signage
• Graphical status panels
• Fault status indicators
• Automotive lighting

Features:

• Low on-resistance
• Simple control interface
• Supports I/O expansion
• Low power consumption
• Cascadable
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C

Benefits:

Multiple NPIC6C units may be cascaded to drive large arrays of LEDs.
