NLSF595: Tri-Color LED Driver

The NLSF595 is advanced CMOS shift register with open drain outputs fabricated with 0.6 5m silicon gate CMOS technology. This device is used in conjunction with a microcontroller, with only one dedicated line. All pins have Overvoltage Protection that allows voltages above VCC up to 7.0 V to be present on the pins without damage or disruption of operation of the part, regardless of the operating voltage. This device may be used between 2.0 and 5.5 volts, the output driver level may be independent of supply voltage:0-7.0 volts.

Features
  • Parallel Outputs are Open Drain Capable of Sinking > 12 mA Output Withstands up to +7.0 Regardless of VCC
  • Standard Serial (SPI) Interface, Data, Clock, Enable (Low)
  • All Inputs CMOS Level Compatible
  • Frees up I/O around a Microcontroller
  • Only One Pin Dedicated to this Device (Latch Enable)
  • Output Enable may be Permanently Pulled Low
  • High Speed Clocking, fmax > 25 MHz (Shift Clock)
  • Eight Bits Parallel Output
  • Double Buffered Outputs, so Register may Fill without Affecting output
  • STD CMOS Serial Output, may be used to Cascade more than One Device
  • Each Part Controls Two Tri-Color LEDs
  • Two Devices can Control 5 Tri-Color LEDs
  • Low Leakage: ICC = 2.0 µA (Max) at TA = 25°C
  • Latchup Performance Exceeds 100 mA
  • TSSOP-16 Package
  • ESD Performance: HBM > 1000 V; MM > 100 V
  • Functionally Similar to the Popular 74VHC595
