Logic - Shift Registers are integrated circuits (ICs) that can hold multiple bits of data, and then shift the data from left to right (or right to left) either one bit, or several bits at a time. One of many examples of a Shift Register IC is the 74HC4094N.

74HC4094N

The 74HC4094N is an 8-bit Shift Register with output latches and serial data input. It has eight 8-bit registers and eight 8-bit output latches. Its maximum supply voltage is 7V. The \'HC\' of its name stands for high-speed CMOS, one type of technology used to build integrated circuits. The numbers 4, 094 represent the logic family to which it belongs (74HC) combined with the device number (094).

652 Application Field

The 74HC4094N is ideal for applications requiring both serial data input and data storage. It can be used as a Light Activated Alarm, Electronic Key, Data Acquisition, Frequency Modulation, and as a Frequency Separator. It can also be used for applications such as data shift register, non-volatile memory, and display drivers.

Working Principle

The 74HC4094N is a synchronous serial-in, serial-out shift register. The data is loaded into the register bit by bit, each time the data is shifted. This data can then be shifted shift right or left. Data may also be read or written from the output latches. When data is shifted into the shift register, the first bit is stored in the first register position and if the register is moved right, then the second bit is stored in the second register position, and so on.Additionally, the 74HC4094N has eight 8-bit output latches, which hold the data that has been shifted into the registers. The output latch can be used for read/write operations. It can also be used to read the contents of the Shift Register. The output latches have their own enable and data outputs.

Conclusion

In summary, the 74HC4094N is an 8-bit Shift Register IC with output latches and serial data input. It is ideal for applications requiring both serial data input and data storage. It can be used in applications including light activated alarms, electronic keys, data acquisition, frequency modulation, and as a frequency separator. It operates by shifting data in and out of the shift register and output latches, making it a powerful and reliable tool in many different applications.
