MIC5800/5801 
4/8-Bit Parallel-Input Latched Drivers 
 
 
 
 
General Description Features 
The MIC5800/5801 latched drivers are high-voltage, high-  4.4MHz Minimum Data Input Rate 
current integrated circuits comprised of four or eight 
 High-Voltage, Current Sink Outputs 
CMOS data latches, a bipolar Darlington transistor driver 
 Output Transient Protection 
for each latch, and CMOS control circuitry for the common 
 CMOS, PMOS, NMOS, and TTL Compatible Inputs 
CLEAR, STROBE, and OUTPUT ENABLE functions. 
 Internal Pull-Down Resistors 
The bipolar/MOS combination provides an extremely low-
 Low-Power CMOS Latches 
power latch with maximum interface flexibility. MIC5800 
 
contains four latched drivers; MIC5801 contains eight 
latched drivers. 
Data input rates are greatly improved in these devices. 
With a 5V supply, they will typically operate at better than 
5MHz. With a 12V supply, significantly higher speeds are 
obtained. The CMOS inputs are compatible with standard 
CMOS, PMOS, and NMOS circuits. TTL or DTL circuits 
may require the use of appropriate pull-up resistors. The 
bipolar outputs are suitable for use with relays, solenoids, 
stepping motors, LED or incandescent displays, and other 
high-power loads. Both units have open-collector outputs 
and integral diodes for inductive load transient 
suppression. The output transistors are capable of sinking 
500mA and will sustain at least 50V in the OFF state. 
Because of limitations on package power dissipation, the 
simultaneous operation of all drivers at maximum rated 
current can only be accomplished by a reduction in duty 
cycle. Outputs may be paralleled for higher load current 
capability.
