Key Features
- 8 open-drain outputs each capable of sinking up to 100 mA, enabling direct drive of LEDs, relays, and solenoids without external transistors
- 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface allowing a single microcontroller port to expand output capability by daisy-chaining multiple NPIC6C595 devices
- Wide supply voltage range of 2V to 5.5V with power logic compatibility bridging 3.3V MCU logic to 5V peripheral loads
Applications
The NPIC6C595D,XXX is designed for LED matrix driving, relay output expansion, and solenoid control in industrial controllers, home automation gateways, and embedded consumer electronics. Its 100 mA open-drain outputs allow each of the 8 channels to directly drive high-brightness LEDs or small relay coils without additional driver transistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area. Multiple devices can be cascaded via the SPI-compatible 3-wire interface to expand output count to 16, 24, or more channels from a single microcontroller GPIO port.

Frequently Asked Questions
What output current capacity does each channel of the NPIC6C595D,XXX provide for driving LEDs or relay coils?
Each of the 8 open-drain output channels on the NPIC6C595D,XXX can sink up to 100 mA continuously, which is sufficient to directly drive high-brightness LEDs at full rated current or actuate small relay coils rated up to 100 mA without requiring external driver transistors. This eliminates a discrete transistor driver stage per channel, reducing BOM cost and PCB footprint in multi-output control designs.
How can multiple NPIC6C595D,XXX devices be cascaded to expand output count beyond 8 channels?
The NPIC6C595D,XXX includes a serial data output (Q7S) pin that feeds the shift register data of one device directly into the serial data input of the next, enabling daisy-chain cascading over a shared 3-wire SPI bus. By chaining 2 devices, a microcontroller can control 16 open-drain outputs; chaining 4 devices expands this to 32 outputs, all controlled through a single SPI port with clock rates up to several MHz depending on supply voltage and load conditions.
Which supply voltage range makes NPIC6C595D,XXX compatible with both 3.3V MCU logic and 5V peripheral loads?
The NPIC6C595D,XXX operates from a supply voltage range of 2V to 5.5V, allowing the shift register logic to be powered from a 3.3V rail while the open-drain outputs switch loads connected to a separate 5V supply. The open-drain topology means the output high level is set by the external pull-up voltage rather than the device supply, enabling voltage-level translation between a 3.3V MCU and 5V peripheral loads such as 5V relay coils or indicator LEDs in a single SO-16 package.
