Description
The A6812 device combines a 20-bit CMOS shift register,
ac com pa ny ing data latches and control cir cuit ry with bipolar
sourcing out puts ,and PNP active pull-downs. De signed
pri mar ily to drive vacuum-flu o res cent displays, the 60 V and
-40 mA output ratings also allow these devices to be used in
many other peripheral power driver applications. The A6812
features an increased data-input rate (com pared with the older
UCN/UCQ5812-F) and a controlled output slew rate.
The CMOS shift register and latches allow direct interfacing
with mi cro pro ces sor-based systems. With a 3.3 or 5 V logic
supply, they operate to at least 10 MHz.
A CMOS serial data output permits cascaded con nec tions in
ap pli ca tions re quir ing additional drive lines. Similar devices
are avail able as the A6810 (10-bit) and A6818 (32-bit).
The A6812 output source drivers are NPN Dar ling tons,
capable of sourcing up to 40 mA. The controlled output slew
rate reduces elec tro mag net ic noise, which is an important
consideration in systems that include telecommunications
and/or microprocessors and to meet government emis sions

regulations. For inter-digit blanking, all output drivers can be
dis abled and all sink drivers turned on with a BLANK ING input
high. The PNP active pull-downs sink at least 2.5 mA.
Three temperature ranges are available for optimum performance in
commercial (suffix S-), industrial (suffix E-), or automotive (suffix
K-) ap pli ca tions. Pack age styles are provided for surface-mount
SOIC (suffix -LW), or minimum-area surface-mount PLCC (suffix
-EP). Copper lead frames, low logic-power dis si pa tion, and low
output-saturation voltages allow these drivers to source 25 mA
from all outputs continuously to more than 43°C (suffix -LW) or
61°C (suffix -EP).
Each package is available in a lead (Pb) free version, with 100%
matte tin leadframe plating.

TIMING REQUIREMENTS and SPECIFICATIONS
(Logic Levels are VDD and Ground)
Serial Data present at the input is trans ferred to the shift
register on the logic “0” to logic “1” transition of the CLOCK
input pulse. On suc ceed ing 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 re-
spective latch when the STROBE is high (serial-to-par al lel con-
ver sion). The latches will continue to accept new data as long
as the STROBE is held high. Ap pli ca tions 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 driv-
ers are disabled (OFF); the pnp active pull-down sink drivers are
ON. The in for ma tion stored in the latches is not affected by the
BLANKING input. With the BLANK ING input low, the outputs
are con trolled by the state of their re spec tive latches.

NOTE – Timing is representative of a 10 MHz clock. Higher
speeds may be attainable with increased supply voltage; op-

clock frequency.
