NPIC6C596ABQ

The output enable input (OE) in the NPIC6C596A shift register is used to control the output extended-drain NMOS transistor. When the OE input is enabled, the data in the storage register drives the gate of the transistor, allowing the output to be active. Conversely, when the OE input is disabled, the output is turned off, effectively disconnecting the output from the circuit. This feature provides flexibility in managing the output of the shift register based on the application requirements.

The purpose of the asynchronous reset input (MR) in the NPIC6C596A shift register is to reset both the shift register and storage register when a LOW signal is applied to MR. This ensures that the data in both registers is cleared simultaneously, allowing for a fresh start in the operation of the shift register.

The maximum continuous current that the open-drain outputs of the NPIC6C596A shift register can handle is below 250 mA .
