64-Channel Serial To Parallel Converter
With High Voltage Push-Pull Outputs
Ordering Information
General Description
The HV34 is a low voltage serial to high voltage parallel converter
with push-pull outputs. This device has been designed for use as
a printer driver for inkjet applications. It can also be used in any
application requiring multiple output high voltage, low current
sourcing and sinking capabilities.
The device consists of a 64-bit shift register, 64 latches, and
control logic to perform the polarity select and blanking of the
outputs. A DIR pin controls the direction of data shift through the
device. With DIR grounded, D
IOA
is Data-In and D
IOB
is Data-Out;
data is shifted from HV

64 to HV

1. When DIR is at logic high,

IOB

OUT
64. Data is shifted through the shift register on
the low to high transition of the clock. Data output buffers are
provided for cascading devices. Operation of the shift register is
not affected by the LE (latch enable), BL (blanking), or the POL
(polarity) inputs. Transfer of data from the shift register to the latch
occurs when the LE (latch enable) is high. The data in the latch is
stored during LE transition from high to low.
