74LS96 5 Bit Shift Register IC (7496) DIP 16 Package

74LS96 5 Bit Shift Register IC (7496) DIP 16 Package

The 74LS96 is a 5-bit serial-in/parallel-out or parallel-in/serial-out shift register IC belonging to the 74LS (Low Power Schottky TTL) logic family.
It is designed to perform data storage, transfer, and manipulation operations such as serial shifting, data buffering, and parallel loading.

Each flip-flop is edge-triggered, and the IC allows bidirectional data shifting (left or right) depending on the configuration of control inputs.
It is particularly useful in digital communication systems, data conversion, and control logic circuits

Functional Description

• The 74LS96 shift register allows data to be entered either:
• Serially through the SER input, or
• In parallel through the inputs A–E.
• Data can then be:
• Shifted through the register with each clock pulse, or
• Loaded directly in parallel when the Parallel Load (PL) input is activated.
• The Clear (CLR) input asynchronously resets all flip-flops to LOW, independent of the clock.

Applications

• Serial-to-parallel or parallel-to-serial data conversion
• Data storage or delay line circuits
• Digital communication systems (shift registers for buffering)
• Microprocessor interfacing (data transfer and timing)
• LED or display control (data shifting for sequential lighting)
• Signal conditioning or bit manipulation
