Working Principles

The MM74C164N is a serial-in, parallel-out shift register. It receives data serially through the Serial Data Input (DS) pin and shifts it into its internal memory on each clock pulse received at the Clock Input (CP) pin. The shifted data is then available in parallel form at the Q0-Q7 outputs.

The Master Reset Input (MR) can be used to clear all the outputs to a low state. The Output Enable Input (OE) allows the outputs to be tri-stated, effectively disconnecting them from the circuit.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The MM74C164N can be used in various applications that require serial-to-parallel data conversion. Some potential application fields include:

1. Digital Displays: The shift register can be used to drive multiple segments of a digital display, such as 7-segment or dot matrix displays.
2. LED Lighting Control: It can be utilized to control the intensity or color of individual LEDs in lighting systems.
3. Data Communication: The IC can be employed in serial data communication systems to convert incoming serial data into parallel format for further processing.
4. Industrial Automation: It can be integrated into automation systems for controlling and monitoring various devices.
