Caution: CMOS devices have input static protection but are susceptible to damage when exposed to extremely high static electrical charges.
Note that the UCN5810AF (dual in-line package) and UCN5810LWF (small-outline IC package) are electrically identical and share a common terminal number assignment.

The UCN5810AF, UCN5810EPF, and UCN5810LWF combine a 10-bit CMOS shift register and accompanying data latches, control circuitry, bipolar sourcing outputs with DMOS active pull-downs. Designed primarily to drive vacuum-fluorescent displays, the 60 V and -40 mA output ratings also allow these devices to be used in many other peripheral power driver applications. The UCN5810AF/EPF/LWF feature reduced supply requirements (active DMOS pull-downs) and lower saturation voltages when compared with the original UCN5810A.

The UCN5810AF, UCN5810EPF, and UCN5810LWF 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. 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 are available as the UCN5811A (12 bits), UCN5812AF/EPF (20 bits), and UCN5818AF/EPF (32 bits).

The UCN5810AF/EPF/LWF output source drivers are NPN Darlingtons capable of sourcing up to 40 mA. The DMOS active pull-downs are capable of sinking up to 15 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 UCN5810AF is furnished in an 18-pin dual in-line plastic package. The UCN5810EPF is furnished in a 20-lead plastic chip carrier. The UCN5810LWF is 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 source 25 mA from all outputs continuously, over the entire operating temperature range. All devices are also available for operation between -40°C and +85°C. To order, change the prefix from 'UCN' to 'UCQ'.
