The UCN5812AF/EPF combine a 20-bit CMOS shift register, data
latches, and control circuitry with high-voltage bipolar source drivers and
active DMOS pull-downs for reduced supply current requirements. Although
designed primarily for vacuum-fluorescent displays, the high-voltage, highcurrent outputs also allow them to be used in other peripheral power driver
applications. They are improved versions of the original UCN5812A/EP.
2
The CMOS shift register and latches allow direct interfacing with
microprocessor-based systems. With a 5 V supply, they will operate to at
least 3.3 MHz. At 12 V, higher speeds are possible. Especially useful for
inter-digit blanking, the BLANKING input disables the output source drives
and turns on the DMOS sink drivers. Use with TTL may require the use of
appropriate pull-up resistors to ensure an input logic high.
8
A CMOS serial data output enables cascade connections in applications
requiring additional drive lines. Similar devices are available as the
UCN5810AF/LWF (10 bits), UCN5811A (12 bits), and UCN5818AF/EPF
(32 bits).
The output source drivers are high-voltage pnp-npn Darlingtons with a
minimum breakdown of 60 V and are capable of sourcing up to 40 mA. The
DMOS active pull-downs are capable of sinking up to 15 mA.
The UCN5812AF is supplied in a 28-pin dual in-line plastic package with
0.600" (15.24 mm) row spacing. For surface mounting, the UCN5812EPF is
furnished in 28-lead plastic chip carrier (quad pack) with 0.050"(1.22 mm)
centers. Copper lead-frames, reduced supply current requirements and lower
output saturation voltages, allow continuous operation, with all outputs
sourcing 25 mA, of the UCN5812AF over the operating temperature range,
and the UCN5812EPF up to +75°C. All devices are also available for operation between -40°C and +85°C. To order, change the prefix from ‘UCN’ to
‘UCQ’.

† Derate at rate of 15 mW/°C above TA = +25°C
Caution: Allegro CMOS devices have input static
protection but are susceptible to damage when
exposed to extremely high static electrical
charges.
Note that the UCN5812AF (dual in-line package)
and UCN5812EPF (PLCC package) are electrically identical and share a common terminal
number assignment.

Serial Data present at the input is transferred
to the shift register on the logic “0” to logic “1”
transition of the CLOCK input pulse. On succeeding CLOCK pulses, the registers 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.
Information present at any register is transferred to the respective latch when the STROBE
is high (serial-to-parallel conversion). The latches
will continue to accept
new data as long as the STROBE is held high.
Applications where the latches are bypassed
(STROBE tied high) will require that the
BLANKING input be high during serial data
entry.
When the BLANKING input is high, the
output source drivers are disabled (OFF); the
DMOS sink drivers are ON, the information
stored in the latches is not affected by the
BLANKING input. With the BLANKING input
low, the outputs are controlled by the state of
their respective latches.
