Component Specifications

Definition
A shift register is a digital integrated circuit that stores binary data and can shift it left or right through a series of flip-flops. In industrial applications, it's used for data serialization, parallel-to-serial conversion, timing control, and temporary storage in protocol engines and automation controllers.
Working Principle
Operates using clock signals to synchronize data movement through cascaded flip-flops. Each clock pulse shifts stored bits by one position, enabling sequential data processing, buffering, and pattern generation in industrial communication protocols.
Materials
Semiconductor silicon with CMOS/TTL technology, encapsulated in plastic (e.g., DIP, SOIC packages) with gold/copper lead frames.
Technical Parameters
  • Bit_Width 4-bit to 64-bit
  • Package_Type DIP-16, SOIC-16, TSSOP-16
  • Supply_Voltage 3.3V or 5V DC
  • Clock_Frequency Up to 100 MHz
  • Operating_Temperature -40°C to +85°C
Standards
ISO 13849, IEC 61131, DIN 19237

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of a shift register in a protocol engine?

It converts parallel data to serial format for transmission and serial data to parallel for processing, enabling efficient communication in industrial networks like Modbus or Profibus.

How does clock frequency affect shift register performance?

Higher clock frequencies allow faster data shifting, increasing throughput in high-speed industrial applications, but require careful PCB design to prevent signal integrity issues.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
