The UCN5910x combines a 10-bit CMOS shift register and accompanying
data latches, control circuitry, high-voltage bipolar sourcing outputs with
DMOS active pull-downs. Designed primarily to drive ink-jet and piezoelec-
tric printers, large flat-panel vacuum-fluorescent or ac plasma displays, the
140 V or 150 V and
±50
mA output ratings also allow these devices to be used
in many other peripheral power driver applications. The lower-cost (suffix
“-2”) devices are identical to the basic devices except for output voltage rating.
The CMOS shift register and latches allow direct interfacing with micro-
processor-based systems. With a 5 V logic supply, serial-data input rates are
typically over 5 MHz, with significantly higher speeds obtainable at 12 V.
Use with TTL may require appropriate pull-up resistors to ensure an input logic
high.
A CMOS serial data output enables cascade connections in applications
requiring additional drive lines. Similar devices for up to 60-volt operation are
available in 10, 12, 20, and 32-bit configurations.
The UCN5910A/LW output source drivers are npn Darlingtons capable of
sourcing at least 40 mA. The DMOS active pull-downs are capable of sinking
at least 30 mA. For inter-digit blanking, all of the output drivers can be
disabled and the DMOS sink drivers turned ON by the BLANKING input high.
The UCN5910A and UCN5910A-2 are furnished in a 20-pin dual in-line
plastic package. The surface-mount UCN5910LW and UCN5910LW-2 are
furnished in a wide-body, small-outline plastic package (SOIC) with gull-wing
leads. Copper lead frames, reduced supply current requirements, and lower
output saturation voltages allow all devices to be operated at
±20
mA from all
outputs (50% duty cycle), at ambient temperatures up to +30°C, or at
±15
mA
to +55°C.

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 OUT-
PUT. The SERIAL DATA must appear at the
input prior to the rising edge of the CLOCK input
waveform.
Information present at any register is trans-
ferred 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.
