The IC component DM74S299N is a 8-Bit Universal Shift/Storage Register manufactured by National Semiconductor Corporation. It is a versatile chip with multiple key features that make it suitable for various applications.
One of its key features is the capability of performing both shift and storage functions. The DM74S299N can be used to shift data serially or store data in parallel. It has a total of eight input/output lines that can handle 8-bit data.
The shift function of the DM74S299N can be configured to either right shift or left shift the data. This flexibility allows for easy manipulation and reordering of bits. It is worth noting that data can be shifted in either synchronous or asynchronous mode, depending on the clock signal.
The IC component also encompasses two control inputs, namely the serial control (S) and storage control (G). The serial control input determines the mode of operation, whether it is in shift or storage mode. On the other hand, the storage control input enables or disables the data storage functionality.
To ensure proper synchronization and control, the DM74S299N is equipped with clock (CLK) and clock enable (CE) inputs. The CLK input serves as the clock signal that controls the shifting or storage operation. The CE input allows for enabling or disabling the clock signal to pause or resume the shifting or storage process
