Description
The A6810 combines 10-bit CMOS shift registers,
accompanying data latches, and control circuitry with bipolar
sourcing outputs and PNP active pull-downs. Designed
primarily to drive vacuum-fluorescent (VF) displays, the 60 V
and –40 mA output ratings also allow this device to be used in
many other peripheral power driver applications. The A6810
features an increased data input rate (compared with the older
UCN/UCQ5810-F) and a controlled output slew rate.
The CMOS shift register and latches allow direct interfacing
with microprocessor-based systems. With a 3.3 or 5 V logic
supply, serial data-input rates of at least 10 MHz can be
attained
A CMOS serial data output permits cascaded connections in
applications requiring additional drive lines. Similar devices
are available as the A6812 (20-bit) and A6818 (32-bit).
Packages:
18-pin DIP
(A package)
20-pin SOICW
(LW package)
The A6810 output source drivers are NPN Darlingtons, capable
of sourcing up to 40 mA. The controlled output slew rate reduces
electromagnetic noise, which is an important consideration in
systems that include telecommunications and microprocessors,
and to meet government emissions regulations. For inter-digit

Description (continued)
blanking, all output drivers can be disabled and all sink drivers
turned on with a BLANKING input high. The PNP active pull-
downs can sink at least 2.5 mA.
The A6810 is available in three temperature ranges for optimum
performance in commercial (S), industrial (E), and automotive (K)
applications. It is provided in two package styles, through-hole
DIP (package A) and surface-mount SOIC (package LW). Copper
leadframes, low logic-power dissipation, and low output-saturation
voltages allow all devices to source 25 mA from all outputs
continuously over the full operating temperature range.
The lead (Pb) free versions have 100% matte tin leadframe
plating.
