Description
The A6818 device combines a 32-bit CMOS shift register, accompanying data latches and control circuitry, with bipolar sourcing outputs and PNP active pull-downs. Designed primarily to drive vacuum-fluorescent displays, the 60 V and –40 mA output ratings also allow this device to be used in many other peripheral power driver applications. The A6818 features an increased data-input rate (compared with the older UCN/UCQ5818x) and a controlled output slew rate.

FEATUREs and Benefits
▪ Controlled output slew rate
▪ 60 V minimum output break down
▪ PNP active pull-downs
▪ Low-power CMOS logic and latches
▪ High-speed data storage
▪ High data-input rate
▪ Low output-saturation voltages
▪ Improved replacements for SN75518N, SN75518NF, UCN5818x, and UCQ5818x
