Function
Shift pulse of shift register
Data input of shift pulse registered using shift pulse rise
When "1", the content of the shift register is output
"0" when the content of the register is "1" on the 1st bit
"0" when the content of the register is "1" on the 2nd bit
"0" when the content of the register is "1" on the 3rd bit
"0" when the content of the register is "1" on the 4th bit
"0" when the content of the register is "1" on the 5th bit
"0" when the content of the register is "1" on the 6th bit
"0" when the content of the register is "1" on the 7th bit
"0" when the content of the register is "1" on the 8th bit

Example of printing using a strobe pulse
This offers the advantage that the common line (large
current) of the heat element does not need to be
switched.
•
Circuit operation
The BA823 has the internal configuration shown in the
logic diagram, with the following three input pins: clock
C, data DI, and strobe S. Data input is synchronized to
the clock, with data being read serially at the rising
edge. The content of the set shift register appears at
output terminals O
0 to O7, as shown in the timing chart
in Figure 8, depending on the strobe input, with that
pulse width being the same as that of the strobe input.
The data output pin D
O is used when ICs are connected
in cascade format, and when the output for the last
stage of the shift register appears, is connected to the
next data input pin D
I. When these clock and strobe
latches and power switch are used in common, the output pins can be increased by eight bits each.
