SN74LS96D

Shift Registers Overview

The SN74LS96D is a five-bit serial-in/serial-out shift register from the Texas Instruments SN74LS series. It features a dedicated clear input to reset all flip-flops and an output enable control for managing data flow. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V, with a typical propagation delay of 18 ns. It is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package and supports industrial temperature ranges.

Shift Registers Feature Summary

Shift Registers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics. Ensure the component meets required environmental standards for the target application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to guarantee alignment with current design specifications.

Shift Registers Selection Notes

Select this component when a simple five-bit shift register is required within standard TTL logic families. Consider the 18 ns propagation delay and 5 V operating voltage constraints. Evaluate package availability and thermal requirements for the intended PCB layout before finalizing the design.

Shift Registers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LS family, known for low-power Schottky logic. It serves as a fundamental building block for sequential logic designs requiring temporary data storage or movement. The device complements other LS-series gates for complex digital system implementations.

Shift Registers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as the SN74LS96N or SN74LS96J if package variations are acceptable. Verify functional compatibility with alternative manufacturers' parts before substitution.

Shift Registers FAQ

What is the function of the clear input on the SN74LS96D?

The clear input asynchronously resets all five flip-flops to a low state, regardless of the clock or data inputs.

Does the SN74LS96D support parallel load functionality?

No, the SN74LS96D is a serial-in/serial-out shift register and does not feature parallel load capabilities.
