This means you connect the load between a positive supply rail and the output pin — the register acts as a low-side switch. No external pull-up resistors are needed for the outputs themselves, though if you are driving a high-impedance input on the next stage, a weak pull-up to 5V may be required to define the logic-high state. The open-drain structure also allows wired-OR connections, where multiple outputs can share a common load line. ## Temperature grade — industrial and automotive environments Rated for -40°C to 125°C operating temperature, the TPIC6C595N is specified for environments where commercial-grade parts would fail: unheated outdoor cabinets, engine compartments, hot factory floors, and cold-storage logistics. ## Sourcing and lifecycle — active, no obsolescence concern It is ROHS3 compliant (lead-free).","metaTitle":"TPIC6C595N Power 8-Bit Shift Register, Open-Drain, 16-DIP","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments TPIC6C595N power 8-bit shift register with open-drain outputs, 4.5V-5.5V supply, -40°C to 125°C range, 16-DIP.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"TPIC","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Analog & Data Acquisition"],"specifications":{"Series":"TPIC","Package":"Tube","Function":"Serial to Parallel, Serial","Logic Type":"Shift Register","Output Type":"Open Drain","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Package / Case":"16-DIP (0.300\\\", 7.62mm)","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Voltage - Supply":"4.5V ~ 5.5V","Number of Elements":"1","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 125°C","Supplier Device Package":"16-PDIP","Number of Bits per Element":"8"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.34","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.34000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.19500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.13400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.93150","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.87076","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.76952","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.60752","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.56702","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.53866","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/f0c02d71988609a9f3fbc46dece7a967.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the typical application for TPIC6C595N?","answer":"The TPIC6C595N is used as a power shift register for driving loads such as LEDs, relays, solenoids, and small motors from a microcontroller's serial data line. Typical applications include industrial control outputs, automotive body electronics (lighting, latch drivers), and appliance control boards where multiple switched loads are needed."},{"question":"Does TPIC6C595N require external pull-up resistors?","answer":"No, the open-drain outputs do not require external pull-up resistors for sinking current to ground. If the output is used to drive a logic input that expects a defined high level when the output is off, a pull-up resistor to the logic supply may be needed."},{"question":"What are equivalent or cross reference parts for TPIC6C595N?","answer":"The TPIC6C595N is part of the TPIC series of power logic devices from Texas Instruments. Within the same series, the TPIC6B595 and TPIC6A595 are similar 8-bit shift registers with open-drain outputs but differ in output current rating and package options. For a pin-compatible alternative, check the TPIC6C596 which adds a storage register for glitch-free updates. Verify the exact current and thermal requirements against the datasheet before substituting."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/TPIC6C595N","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/TPIC6C595N when reusing this data.
