8-bit, serial IN, parallel OUT driver

BA823 / BA823F

The BA823 and BA823F are 8-bit serial input, parallel output drivers. These monolithic ICs were developed as
drivers for thermal printing heads, LED character displays, and other similar applications.

•Thermal
Applications
printing head drivers
LED character display drivers

•1)Features
Can drive up to 200 mA. 4) The digital ground and power ground are separated.
2) Controlling the strobe terminal with the drive timing 5) TTL and CMOS drive possible.
pulse enables current to be reduced when drive is
not being carried out.
3) Using the data output terminal for the next data input
enables cascade connections.
