Working Principles

The 74F164ASJ operates based on the principle of sequential data shifting. It receives serial data through the DS pin and shifts it into an internal shift register upon each rising edge of the clock signal applied to the CP pin. The shifted data is then available in parallel form at the Q0-Q7 output pins. The master reset input (MR) can be used to clear the register, while the clock enable input (CE) controls the shifting operation.

The 74F164ASJ finds application in various fields, including:

1. Data storage systems
2. Serial-to-parallel data conversion in communication protocols
3. LED matrix displays
4. Digital clocks and timers
5. Industrial automation and control systems
6. Robotics and motor control circuits
