Unlike a standard logic-level 74HC595, this part from the TPIC series integrates power DMOS transistors on each output, making it a fit for driving LEDs, relays, solenoids, or small incandescent lamps from a 5V logic rail. The open-drain output structure means each pin can sink current to ground; the load connects between the output and the positive supply. Operating from a 4.5V to 5.5V supply, the device is a single-element, 8-bit register in a 16-TSSOP package. The -40°C to 125°C temperature range covers industrial and automotive under-hood environments, so it suits motor-drive control boards, automotive lighting modules, and factory-automation I/O blocks. ## Open-drain outputs — what they mean for your load The open-drain output is the headline feature that separates this part from a standard shift register. Each of the eight outputs can sink current from an external load — typical applications include driving the cathode side of an LED array or energising a relay coil with a flyback diode. Because the outputs are open-drain, the load supply voltage can differ from the logic supply, as long as the output transistor breakdown voltage is respected. This makes the TPIC6C595PWR a natural choice for multiplexed display panels or any bank of switched loads where the logic runs at 5V and the loads may run at a higher voltage. ## Active production — no LTB risk The TPIC6C595PWR carries an Active lifecycle status, meaning Texas Instruments continues to manufacture and support the part in its current form. There is no last-time-buy notice or end-of-life window to plan around. For a BOM line that needs a proven power-logic shift register, this part is a low-risk selection for both new designs and production sustainment. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed, so no exemption expiry concerns for European or California-market builds. ## Package and supply-chain notes The 16-TSSOP package (4.40mm width, 0.173\" body) is a common footprint shared with many 16-pin logic and interface devices. Surface-mount assembly with standard reflow profiles applies. The part is available in Tape & Reel (TR) for automated pick-and-place, as well as Cut Tape (CT) for prototyping and low-volume builds. The 5V-only supply rail is a hard constraint — do not plan to run this from a 3.3V bus without a level translator or a separate 5V regulator.","metaTitle":"TPIC6C595PWR Power 8-Bit Shift Register, Open-Drain","metaDescription":"TI TPIC6C595PWR 8-bit serial-to-parallel shift register with open-drain outputs. 4.5V-5.5V supply, -40°C to 125°C, 16-TSSOP.

The SN74HC595 has push-pull totem-pole outputs rated for a few milliamps of source or sink current, while the TPIC6C595PWR has open-drain outputs designed to sink significantly higher load currents. They are not pin-compatible substitutes. Choose the TPIC6C595PWR when you need to drive loads directly; use the 74HC595 for pure logic-level expansion."},{"question":"Can TPIC6C595PWR drive LEDs?","answer":"Yes, the open-drain outputs are well suited for sinking current through LEDs. Each output can sink the current from one or more LEDs connected between the output pin and the positive supply, with a current-limiting resistor in series. The 5V supply rail and the open-drain structure make this a common choice for LED bar-graph displays, status indicators, and multiplexed LED matrices."},{"question":"What is the maximum current per output of TPIC6C595PWR?","answer":"The datasheet specifies the output current capability per channel. For exact maximum ratings and thermal derating, refer to the manufacturer's datasheet. The open-drain structure allows each output to sink a load current limited by the device's power dissipation and junction temperature."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/TPIC6C595PWR","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/TPIC6C595PWR when reusing this data.
