MIC5891
8-Bit Serial-Input Latched Source Driver
General Description
The MIC5891 latched driver is a high-voltage, high current
integrated circuit comprised of eight CMOS data latches,
CMOS control circuitry for the common STROBE and OUTPUT
ENABLE, and bipolar Darlington transistor drivers for each
latch.
Bipolar/MOS construction provides extremely low power
latches with maximum interface flexibility.
The MIC5891 will typically operate at 5MHz with a 5V logic
supply.
The CMOS inputs are compatible with standard CMOS,
PMOS, and NMOS logic levels. TTL circuits may be used with
appropriate pull-up resistors to ensure a proper logic-high
input.
A CMOS serial data output allows additional drivers to be
cascaded when more than 8 bits are required.
The MIC5891 has open-emitter outputs with suppression
diodes for protection against inductive load transients. The
output transistors are capable of sourcing 500mA and will
sustain at least 35V in the on-state.
Simultaneous operation of all drivers at maximum rated
current requires a reduction in duty cycle due to package
power limitations. Outputs may be paralleled for higher load
current capability.
The MIC5891 is available in a 16-pin plastic DIP package (N)
and 16-pin wide SOIC package (WM).

Applications Information
Serial data present at the input is transferred into the shift
register on the rising edge of the CLOCK input pulse. Additional
CLOCK pulses shift data information towards the SERIAL
DATA OUTPUT. The serial data must appear at the input prior
to the rising edge of the CLOCK input waveform.
The 8 bits present in the shift register are transferred to the
respective latches when the STROBE is high (serial-toparallel conversion). The latches will continue to accept new
data as long as the STROBE is held high. Most applications
where the latching feature is not used (STROBE tied high)
require the OUTPUT ENABLE input to be high during serial
data entry.
Outputs are active (controlled by the latch state) when the
OUTPUT ENABLE is low. All Outputs are low (disabled) when
the OUTPUT ENABLE is high. OUTPUT ENABLE does not
affect the data in the shift register or latch.
