TPIC6A595DWR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPIC6A595DWR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of the clock input?
  The maximum frequency of the clock input is 30 MHz, but it's recommended to operate at 10 MHz or less for reliable operation.
• How do I handle the output enable (OE) pin?
  The OE pin is active-low, so it should be pulled low to enable the outputs. When OE is high, the outputs are in a high-impedance state.
• What is the purpose of the serial output (SOUT) pin?
  The SOUT pin is used to cascade multiple TPIC6A595DWR devices. It outputs the serial data that can be connected to the serial input (SER) of another device.
• How do I handle the latch enable (G) pin?
  The G pin is active-high, so it should be pulled high to latch the data into the output registers. When G is low, the outputs are in a high-impedance state.
• What is the maximum current rating for each output pin?
  Each output pin is rated for a maximum current of 150 mA. Exceeding this rating may cause damage to the device.
